1. Take care of the ball. It’s simple. Don’t turn it over four times like they did last week. Or any times, for that matter.
2. Balancing act. If Nebraska can run the ball against Ohio State, that can help open up the pass. If Adrian Martinez can run the ball, that attracts eyeballs from Buckeye defenders. Conversely, the Husker receivers must be able to get open.
3. Acts of aggression. The kicking game is a big ol’ mystery in Lincoln.
