Nebraska football lost two contributors last week as Tyjon Lindsey and Greg Bell elected to transfer.
With a get on board or get off mentality Luke Gifford said the decision caught teammates by surprise but is proud of the group battling on the field.
"Those are guys we counted on and were play makers on our team but when something like that happens all you have left are the guys that are with you and you go to battle with those guys week in and week out and that's what we chose to do and I'm really proud of the guys I have in my locker room, I'd go to war with them any day," Gifford said.
The Huskers take on Northwestern on October 13 in Evanston, Illinois.
