Carlos Davis gets a little love after first career start

Carlos Davis and Nebraska defensive line coach John Parrella didn't quite agree, in form, on the lessons the redshirt freshman defensive tackle learned in his first career start Saturday.

"I think he hugged me and he asked me when I wasn't going in any more, 'What did I learn?' I told him I learned I had to bow up at times," Davis said. "And he said, 'You learned that you can play the game.' He was very loving."

Davis was playing in place of sophomore Mick Stoltenberg, who was out this week with a knee problem but may return for the Oregon game.
