Quotables

Oregon coach Mark Helfrich, at his weekly news conference, rattled off the heights and weights of each player along the Nebraska offensive line.

“They’re huge,” Helfrich said. “They’re giant humans, and they can move.”

Nebraska offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf on being in the coach’s box instead of on the field.

“I do like being able to see,” Langsdorf said. “I think my conversation with the staff and with the quarterback have been good. I probably have better information to give (Armstrong). When you’re able to see some things and help them with, ‘OK, this is what they’re doing coverage-wise, or pressure-wise,’ and then making sure we are getting everything communicated correctly.”

Riley on areas of focus for the Oregon game.

"We have to do everything we can to be sound down the field to prevent big plays," "This team (Oregon) has made a living on big plays through the years so it's a big part of their identity, so a good balanced offense will be key."
