Cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt
On the game as a whole
“Yeah. It is unfortunate that a team so great can do so many things good just turns up bad. I have no answers for this game honestly. It just feels like an ongoing dream. It happens you know week in and week out. We have some of the top teams in the country to a certain amount of points or yards you know doing our thing. Just one player or one hiccup just knocks the whole tower down. I know for sure these guys will fix it in the near future and I do have faith in that with all my heart. There were many times where I could have gone anywhere but I decided to stay because I can see what they are building here and what we have built here as of being here this time. It is just tough to keep going out the same way. I know they will get there.”
On the blocked punt
“I would not say anything bad went through my mind or any other defense’s mind. Let’s get out there. Let's get a turnover and get the ball back so the offense can go score. There was no bad energy everyone was up like it did not happen.”
On key players not there
“It is just like anyone else getting hurt or going down we have the next guy step up and he is just as good. I wouldn not say it took away from anything. You saw for yourself it was three points three points three points and that is good for a defense not letting the boys get to the end zone. I believe we did that showed everybody that but yeah we did need those guys for sure they are a big impact.”
On it being his final year
“I just grew up a lot while I was here. I have so much knowledge I have saved from all the coaches. We started from the bottom with this whole program just built everything. I just felt like it was that time. I did commit this last year to fulfill my dreams and help this team become better. I feel so bad that I could not help do that but I tried my hardest.”
On training for the NFL
“Let’s go get it. I’ll be deciding here soon where I will be training I just do not right now.”
On Keagan Johnson
“It was alright he is cool. He is an alright player I will say that. I did tell him after the game those catches were not going on me but maybe another defensive back. He is going to be a great player though for sure. You know I hate that he went to Iowa he could have stayed home and been a great Nebraskan and carried on the legacy here but he will be something special over there and I pray he does good.”
On coming off the field the last time
“Everything. It is all I have known. I have been here four years I have not looked at any other colleges or tried to transfer or anything. Sat my butt here and dealt with the heartache and the pain and tried to change everything around. I feel like you can only do so much and I feel like I have done my best here and it’s time."
