Game Day Q&A: Lineman Ted Karras

What did the win against Nebraska mean to you?
I grew up watching games like that and dreaming about playing against teams like Nebraska. To go out here and win the way we did after everything we’ve been through this year — it’s been one of the craziest years of our lives — it meant the world. It was a huge win. We want to keep the momentum rolling.

With 50 seconds left, what were you thinking?
I couldn’t believe they threw the ball on third down. They have us just about dead to rights.
