It seems this Nebraska team comes apart when anything bad happens. We were down 14-0 to Colorado, 17-0 to Troy, and I don’t even want to bring up Michigan.
You could maybe expect the penalties Nebraska has committed based on Frost’s teams past performance. UCF was 117th in penalties last season, but they were a good enough team to overcome them. Nebraska is 124th so far this season in that category.
The killer is the turnovers. Nebraska is 126th in turnover margin, leading only Tulsa, Rutgers (ugh), Connecticut and Utah. Perhaps beating Purdue is just a matter of taking care of the ball and not getting down by double digits at the start of the game.
