Nebraska Interim Head Coach Mickey Joseph spoke with the media on Tuesday afternoon. Here is what he had to say.
Opening statement
“Tough loss on Saturday. The boys really hurt after this one, and so did the coaches. This week we just had to get back to work. I am confident that they will come back and bounce back this week. We talked this morning. They guaranteed me that they are still ready to go. They are ready to get after it and be the best team on Saturday. This time of year we are dealing with a lot of injuries, so we have the next man up mentality like we talk about every week. In this conference, you saw it last week against Illinois, you have to play sixty minutes of solid football. We showed lapses of doing it but to win games you have to play a full sixty minutes. That is what we have to get the guys to do play the full sixty minutes.”
