defense hard key nebraska test worked
We've worked hard on it, but the key to the Nebraska defense is up-front four. That'll be a real test for us.
days monday sunday terms worked
It was a Sunday or a Monday in terms of game-week preparation, and those are days we do not practice. It worked out perfectly.
amount both opponent time works wrinkles
It works both ways, your opponent also has the same amount of time, so there's always some new wrinkles and there's adjustments when you get there because of the amount of time you have to prepare.
approach challenges chance character fight good great less people question thinking together whether work
Whether things are going great or poorly, you have challenges. Challenges when things are going well are a lot more fun, but no less difficult. In our case, there's no question it's not as much fun. But if you have good people and good character like we have, you approach it thinking that together you can get through it. And if you have a good work ethic, you have a chance to fight your way out of it.

Offensively, we just made too many mistakes in the red zone. You can't get the football down there and give it away like we did and expect to win a game like this. So we've got a lot of work to do there.

It is a significant injury. And I think it would take an extraordinary rehabilitation for him to come back, but I've seen guys do things that I never thought they could do. So I don't rule him out, but he's got a lot of work in front of him.

I knew in my heart this team had tremendous motivation. They worked extremely hard going back to the way that season ended a year ago.

closer factor noise practice work
The idea is to try to do as much in practice as you can to simulate the noise factor and the communication, how much closer you have to listen. We'll work on all those things. We'll do everything we can.

effort fight football found good liked lost offensive standpoint talented took
We lost a football game, but I think we found a defense. I liked the way we played, from a standpoint of effort and aggressiveness. I thought we were very physical. I thought we took the fight to Notre Dame. They're a very talented offensive football team. (But) there's nothing good about losing. Nothing.
football found lost
We lost a football game, but I think we found a defense.

It was a long night, leave it that way.

There will be significant changes on both sides of the ball. That will unfold in the fall, and hopefully it will be obvious. The most important thing is it translates into performance.
