A look at some talking points after the Huskers' game against Rutgers on Saturday. From Rutgers' postgame news conference Rutgers coach Greg Schiano on the weather: “I’ve been doing this 37 years. I’ve not been in conditions like we were today.

We have to play better. I know this sounds like every losing coach." Schiano: “That was everything that was built up to be.
An old-fashioned Big Ten slugfest. Both teams played really hard." Quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis on his performance: “I don’t think I played to the standard that I’m capable of being at.
That being said, I have to play better. I will be better.” Defensive back Flip Dixon: “At the end of the day, it’s a team sport.
We could have had zero points, but it’s a team sport, we have to do what we have to do.” What other media outlets are saying: Dante Dowdell and Janiran Bonner scored touchdowns, and Nebraska leaned on its defense on a day Dylan Raiola struggled to beat Rutgers 14-7 on Saturday.
