I thought we had a chance until that last interception. We hadn't seen some of those misdirection plays Nebraska gave us. We tackled well last week against Ole Miss, but Nebraska made us look bad tackling at times today.

I could see their backs breaking into our secondary, but I don't know how they got there. I'll have to look at the films for that. "Nebraska is a big name team with a fine tradition. This should be the beginning of a real fine rivalry. I can't remember a game see-sawing so much since we tied Florida State (37-37) in 1967.

I'm proud of the way we came back. We just ran out of time. We all learned a lot today. When you play at Nebraska, you're bound to learn." Quarterback Jeff Rutledge My game reminded me of the Notre Dame game last year. How many interceptions did I have, five, six, seven? Those screen passes should've been thrown away.

I imagine I'll get alot of hate mail again like I did after the Notre Darroe game. I don't mean to do those things. I'm out here trying to do the best job I can. I'm sorry. "Nebraska was a good football team, but we were able to move the ball on them.

I had to hurry a few throws and it was my fault. I should've either thrown the ball earlier or thrown it out of bounds on those interceptions. I learned a lot playing Nebraska today." On his fourth quarter ankle injury: "Hopefully it was just turned. It was a little late hit, but they said they couldn't hold up. If you can't hold up, I can understand that." Fullback Johnny Davis "We both had opportunities to win the game, they just outscored us.

There was good offensive balance by both teams. I didn't believe before the game that we could score that many plays and still lose." On the effects of the loss to the Alabama team: "They played good football and we played good football. You've got to just forget about this. It isn't over with yet. Anything can happen for us." Defensive tackle Dave Hannah "There was no doubt that Nebraska had a potent offensive team.

Wo just didn't do our job of stopping them, especially myself. We lost sight of our goal today, the national championship. We can still beat Southern Cal and all that. We've got to make sure we don't lose sight again." On Nebraska's surprise plays: "Coach Bryant always tells us to expect the unexpected. Berns (Rick) really burned us.

That's a bad joke. It's not that funny." Offensive guard David Sadler "They're going to surprise a lot of people in the Big 8. I hate losing more than anybody, but Nebraska is a good football team and we have to have an advantage going into next week's game." Split end Ozzie Newsome "I had figured early there ain't nobody going to go through the season undefeated this year. We just got ours early. We qot four tough games in a row now.

We got a muddy road still ahead of us." On Tim Smith's key third and long reception setting up Nebraska's final touchdown: "I'm not complaining, bot as a receiver, I watch these kinds of things. I was standing right there and his foot came down out of bounds. That was a key play."
