He praised Williams' ability to make plays with his feet, which proved crucial in the game.
In terms of special teams, Fisch was impressed with the team's field position play calling, which led to successful punting and prevented Nebraska from capitalizing on critical opportunities. Nebraska will face off against Illinois this Friday, with a scheduled kickoff at 7 p.m. on Fox.
