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

Steve Feye

can win if we don't have the ball

Rizeabuv Yorzelf

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!

Eric Johnson

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.

Ron Rangel

40+-3 when even or winning turnover margin for Bo

Ron Bauer

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.

Will Stevenson

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

Mark Champ

we have to protect the ball...just look at the stats from last year's game...

Arlie Rauch

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

Lamont Barrientos

Last year

Patrick Nelson

gotta be perfect with the ball no turnovers and create turnovers

T David Andrew M

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

Rick Keane

without a doubt, its the turnovers that defeat Nebraska.

Because know the Huskers have a true chance to win now that Utah doesn't have they're coach.

Robert Lloyd

Go Big Red

Wade Williams

Yes, especially when you combine the upheaval this causes with a few of their opt outs and departures. It's one of the reasons bowl games just aren't the same anymore. The record might say we're playing the 15th ranked team, but in reality, we're playing what's left of it. Glorified scrimmage gm!
