The Nebraska football team is firing on all cylinders as we approach the home stretch of the regular season. The Cornhuskers talked about their win over Illinois last weekend and what's ahead. Check out the best quotes from Monday's press conference.
Best nickname ever
Over the years, plenty of Huskers have gotten great nicknames, but Jerald Foster dubbing Stanley Morgan Jr. as "Captain Morgan" enters my Nebraska Football Nickname Hall of Fame.
Jerald Foster with a nickname for Stanley Morgan that I’m so upset I never thought of until now: “Captain Morgan."

Special teams still needs work
The below quote about Pickering is a less than veiled shot at punter Caleb Lightbourn. He had been handling kickoffs until a flubbed onside kick against Ohio State. Now, it appears Lightbourn is out of both jobs, as he'd already been benched from the starting punter job.
Scott Frost says Barret Pickering will continue to handle kickoff duties going forward. Why?
