Coach Talk

huskers
We do respect the confidence this past week, huskers. It takes guts to deploy a player with zero points (Nick Westbrook-Ikhine), while still getting the W.
Will Mcavoy
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The six starting offensive skill players on Will Mcavoy (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) collectively gained a healthy 511 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players, unfortunately, could find his way to the end zone in Week 15.
