ens I have ever seen. For me, it wasn't toujn
playing here, but I guess it just depends cn what
type a person you are and where you're coming
from."
Mike Knox, senior linebacker, said ending his
five-year career at Memorial Stadium Saturday
meant something special,
"I definitely had a good time here, there isn't a
time when I regret doing it Knox said. "Some
times you have the ups and downs, but the good
parts always outweigh the bad."
Charlie McBride, theHuskers' defensive coor
dinator, said that all 26 seniors deserved special
attention.
A personal victory is wen, McBride said, when
an athlete completes his football career at
Nebraska.
"It reslly adds to their attitude when an ath
lete completes his football career here," McBride
said, "We talked about being able to play a lot of
kids today, particularly the seniors it just
happened early."
