Alex McLaughlin on Nebraska Game

First Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, honors of your career. Just, you know, what does it feel like to get that kind of recognition? Yeah, it feels great. I think it's just a testament to our whole defense. I think we played extremely well on Saturday, and I couldn't have done it without the guys around me, especially the dudes up front creating so much pressure and stopping the run. So, shout out to those guys. Alex, when they threw the flag for targeting, were you nervous at all that that would stand, or were you pretty confident that the replay was going to overturn it? I was pretty confident that it was just my shoulder in there. I just wanted to make sure that my head was to the side, so once I saw the replay, I knew it wasn't targeting. You have a bang-bang play like that. Do you feel as a defender like you have a lot of control over getting your head out of it and making sure it's not targeting in that split second? Uh, yeah, I mean, obviously in a in a hit like a play like that, you know, like he can't see you. So I think and you know, you're going to make pretty good contact. So I think, yeah, I definitely tried to turn my head to the side or at least lower my hit zone. So I didn't get that.
