WHILE THE DEFENSE DOMINATED THE FIRST HALF THE OFFENSE WAS CONSISTENT ALL GAME LONG SCORING A TD IN EACH QUARTER. CODY COKER THREW 2 PICKS BUT HAD A SOLID GAME ALL AROUND. WHEN ASKED IF HIS FOUR INTERCEPTION PERFORMANCE IN LAST YEARS ROSE BOWL (A GAME IN WHICH THE SPARTANS LEAD BY AS MUCH AT FOUR TOUCHDOWNS HEADING INTO THE FOURTH QUARTER BUT EVENTUALLY LOST TO NEBRASKA) HAS GOTTEN INTO HIS HEAD, COKER REPLIED "I JUST NEED TO GET BACK TO THE BASICS. LAST YEAR I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT A LOT OF THE MISTAKES I MADE MY FRESHMAN YEAR. I JUST NEED TO MAKE BETTER DECISIONS OUT THERE AND QUIT MAKING STUPID TURNOVERS."
