Northern Illinois Football Head Coach Thomas Hammock met with the media following his team’s 35-11 to Nebraska on Saturday night. He started his press conference by talking about the physicality of the game.
“We thought it would be a physical contest and it was. I thought our defense hung in there and played their butt off throughout the whole game. We did not do enough offensively to stay on the field long enough. I think we had six drops in the first half in critical moments that put us behind the sticks but we have to find a way to be more efficient on offense and reward our defense for the way that they are playing. Credit to Nebraska, strong and physical team. We had every inclination of what it was going to look like and it was. We have to go back and study the tape and try to improve.”
