Pelini's postgame message
Posted by: Brian Christopherson on October 16, 2010 at 9:23PM CST
Saturday's result has obviously made Nebraska's national championship aspirations far-fetched.
I would say they don't exist at all, but I've learned to never to make such a declaration after my experience covering Nebraska's 2001 season. You'll remember about five teams all had to lose the week after Nebraska got buried by Colorado. And sure enough, all five did. College football is a weird deal sometimes.
Anyway, with the chance to go undefeated now removed, what does Bo Pelini tell his team?
"I told our football team we still have everything out in front of us that we want to do. Our first goal is to win the Big 12, it's still out there for us to go do but we're not going to do that unless we look in the mirror like men and take responsibility for what happened out on the field today and get better because of it.
"We'll let the fans and everyone else feel sorry for themselves and feel sorry for what happened. You have to take an experience like this and let it make you stronger. If we do that, we'll respond the right way."
