LINCOLN, NEB. ? Nebraska will stay with Jammal Lord at quarterback despite two straight losses that dropped the Cornhuskers out of the Top 25 for the first time since 1981.

Lord, a junior, was replaced by sophomore Mike Stuntz during the fourth quarter of last week’s 36-14 loss at Iowa State. The defeat dropped Nebraska to 3-2 and out of the AP rankings after being a part of 348 straight polls.

Coach Frank Solich said Friday he made the decision after evaluating this week’s practices and consulting with quarterbacks coach Turner Gill.
