Notebook: Burkhead's final game

Rex Burkhead

Rex Burkhead ran for 140 yards and one touchdown against Georgia.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Our rundown from the Capital One Bowl between Nebraska and Georgia.

    • Mentioned this in another thread, but Burkhead is a great player and a great ambassador for the program. He'll be missed on and off the field.

    • When it was announced that the officiating crew was from the Big 12 I thought, "uh oh, here we go again." I didn't question the officiating until about halfway through the fourth quarter when Georgia was confident they had won the game and they started to take some cheap shots at Nebraska and the refs let that stuff go rather than call it. But all in all I thought Nebraska played relatively well and some of those pass interference calls on Nebraska actually were pass interference. Bottom line-Nebraska rarely gets the benefit of the doubt when it comes to officiating so our players need to rise above the bad calls and just play hard.

    • Rex will be missed for sure. I'm glad for him that he had a good game to wrap things up. That's a solid stat line for his final go-round.
