To a man, and starting with the head coach, the Nebraska Cornhuskers said their first loss of the season motivates them more than disappoints them and that there would be no emotional hangover when they play No. 6 Ohio State in the second of two straight difficult road games.
“I think our team actually will be mad,” coach Mike Riley said Monday. “You can be sad, or you can be mad, and you can have a chip on your shoulder and know we can be better and go play hard. We’ll have to play hard and well to win, but that’s the approach our team will take.”
The No. 9 Huskers (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) lamented missed opportunities in their 23-17 overtime loss at now-No. 8 Wisconsin . Quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. wasn’t sharp and the running game never got going, yet they were in position to win after the Badgers missed a field goal late in regulation and an extra point in overtime.
