QUOTABLE
Head Coach Scotti Sentes
"At the end of the day, Nebraska is the better team than us right now in November. If we want to change that this season, we have work to do. It starts with how we approach practice. We need to quit worrying about our teammates' feelings in practice, take more attacks, and develop more confidence in ourselves.

You can't beat a team like Nebraska unless you are willing to take risks and battle the entire match. I'm looking for our team to take today personally and for it to show once we get back in the practice room come Monday. "
