1. Carry it over. Clearly, the competition takes a major leap up this weekend. The Huskers built confidence and showed the ability to score in bunches the past two weeks. Does that good feeling count for anything in Columbus?
2. Yardage into points. The Huskers are averaging a whopping 582 yards per game over their past five. Nebraska must finish drives with points — touchdowns, really — to keep pace with Ohio State.
3. Stalemate up front. Nebraska’s offensive line doesn’t necessarily have to dominate, but it does at least have to hold up.
