Whenever you hear Bo speak, especially after a loss, he's still in "coach mode". He said he felt they were the better team, because that's the things he says to his team, to give them confidence and get them to go back to work on the little things that can make the difference.
Bo Pelini isn't good at turning off "coach mode" after a game when talking to the media. He isn't a guy who is going to say one thing to his players, then go say something different to the media minutes later - and he doesn't even care to try.
Doesn't bother me any.. I get it. I don't need my coach to be all savvy in the media for me to think he's a good coach.
