“We’re so close. I’m sick and tired of hearing, ‘We’re so close.’ But, gosh darn it, we’re close. I feel like it isn’t this game, it’s definitely going to be the next game.”
Reimer, the sophomore linebacker, didn’t think fatigue was a major factor why Michigan scored 13 points in the final quarter.
“They just got us. They’re a good team,” Reimer said. “They’re going to get theirs. We just have to do a better job of not letting them drive down the field on us and getting points on us.”
After the Martinez fumble, the Husker defense held Michigan to a field goal, which got the ball back to Nebraska for one last chance to tie or win with 80 seconds left.
“(After) any sudden change we say, ‘Put out the fire,’” Robinson said. “We went out there and put out the fire the best we could and get the offense the ball so we can go score.”
The Nebraska defense held Michigan scoreless in the first quarter. Robinson had a 13-yard sack in the first quarter to end a Michigan drive. It was Robinson’s first sack at Nebraska.
Linebacker Nick Henrich had a career-high 15 tackles for NU.
