LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska interim coach Mickey Joseph took full responsibility for his team's performance in a 49-14 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday, repeatedly saying in his postgame press conference, "This is on me."
Joseph was promoted to interim coach last Sunday, after Scott Frost was fired following a 1-2 start to the season. Throughout the week, Joseph promised he would bring more energy and enthusiasm to the program and had his players get back to the basics at practice -- while also removing the black shirts that are a trademark of the defense.
But after their first offensive series ended in a touchdown, nothing went right for the Cornhuskers.
