Chase Audige and Alonzo Verge doing what they do down the stretch.

Nebraska died doing what they loved, turning the ball over on out-of-control hero ball drives.

Is Pete Nance grad transferring? His answer about his NW career certainly sounded like he was grad transferring.

Didn’t even mean from a Michigan POV necesarily, just was listening to the presser in the background and he talked about going home and taking about his future in a strange way
