Postgame: Huskers 10, Sooners 3

Well, well, well.... The Huskers had seven first downs. They punted 11 times. They, they, won? Yes, how about those Blackshirts? "I'm just proud of this whole football team," Bo Pelini said. "There were 87 total (defensive) plays and they sucked it up and found a way and I'm proud of that team tonight." Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops didn't know if he'd ever been apart of a loss where his defense played so well. "You force 11 punts away from home, and I think they were 1-of-14 on third down, you feel like you've got a good chance to win the game. I would say the difference is (they got) the one turnover to set up their touchdown, and we didn't get a turnover. That's how close this game was, and defensively, we really did play well." Phillip Dillard and Matt O'Hanlon both said they had the best games of their lives. O'Hanlon's three interceptions ties a school record. He also had a career-high 12 tackles. Dillard was just as much a maniac on the field. He had eight tackles, two of those for loses, a sack and a huge interception. "It just shows the character of this defense and everyone believes in the system and believes in each other," Pelini said. "It's like a brotherhood. We've got each other's back on offense and defense." ***** A note on Larry Asante. He was injured late in the third quarter. Marvin Sanders said he was told Asante had suffered a concussion but hadn't spoken to the trainers yet. Asante looked fine after the game, fielding some questions from reporters. ***** Zac Lee said "this is the best feeling I've had in football, to be honest right now." "We have some great guys on this team and we love each other," he said. "That really showed." Cody Green said it was an moetional game "and I guess you could say I just got caught up in it I guess. "There's really not much to it. Big game. People do that." ****** If you're wondering, OU field-goal kicker Tress Way has just been given that job two weeks ago. He obviously had a rough night, missing two kicks and having another blocked.
