Nebraska starting quarterback Heinrich Haarberg met with the media following the Cornhuskers 35-11 victory over Northern Illinois. He started his press conference by commenting on his physical play from the quarterback position.
“I enjoy the physicality in the moment. Right now it doesn’t feel too good, but I know what the energy can do to the team. Seeing your quarterback out there going full speed ahead and not slowing down, not hesitating. That’s something that I’ve been working on since spring. Running physically, because I know that I’m not the stereotypical quarterback. I’m heavier, I’m faster and I’m stronger so I’m going to use that to my advantage and try to push my teammates.”
