To quote Bo Pelini; nothing is more demoralizing to an opponent that running the ball effectively

Between the 2 factors, it's the only 1 that we have any real control over.

We would have beaten MSU last year if we hadn't turned the ball over 5 times! That was due mostly to inexperience. It's somewhat different this year! Armstrong has been under fire and seems to be doing much better. He needs to stay calm. Our Players need to go into this game with a chip on their shoulder. We're NEBRASKA! MSU isn't any different than any other team we play! We need to dominate! Shove it right down their throat! Go Big Red!

Rushing yards won't be easy to come by - but they won't for MS either. Play mistake-free ball and we have a chance.

Haven't seen any team yet to win a game with multiple turn-overs.

Turnovers, usually a team that is +1 over their opponent wins. There is a NFL spreadsheet that is talked about on talk radio that has the exact stats. The gist is 90% of the time the team that doesn't turn the ball over and gains a turn over wins. NU needs no turn overs and MSU could help us out by having 2.

Without a doubt.... The rushing yards don't mater if we have a bunch of turnovers.... (see 2013)

A turnover can cancel the effect of many yards. Let's force turnovers while not allowing our own. Let the effect work for us.

Simplicity, if you can demoralized with turnovers and capitalize on opportunities, then the % chance of win increases.

Nebraska is known over the years to have struggled against running Quarterbacks, they have to make sure that doesn’t happen today!!!

I think our OL is the most problematic thing, not Emmett Johnson. If MSU gets on a roll and stops Dylan then we are in trouble.

Any time you stop the run, you make a team one dimensional

the OL has to play better. the running backs can't run if there aren't any holes to run into. they have to protect the QB, 1 or 2 sacks are acceptable, but they can't give up 7 again.

I believe Coach Rhule and his staff have the ability to get the team to understand their shortcomings in the last game and will show them how to overcome the obstacles that Michigan presented. GO BIG RED!!! 🎈🎈🎈

I doubt it, but I'd be happy with 3/4 at this point. Hope I'm wrong though.

Can't get stops when it counts the most. Can't move ball when it counts the most. O line and D line have been and continue to be a problem. I am not hopeful going forward.

We have a DC that can't adjust on the fly.

Our line play is mediocre. We have skill players but our line play on both sides will be our limiting factor. We need to find toughness for 4 quarters. In this age of celebrating every yard, we lose rock hard toughness.

Football games are won with offensive and defensive lines. We have neither.

Our O-Line & D-Line are simply not good enough to get the job done.
