Not that we're hard up for conversation or anything this week, but I don't recall seeing one of these recently. What key things must Nebraska do to get a W on Saturday?
1. No more than 2 turnovers. As bad as Texas has played on offense, an extra possession or two piled onto a mediocre offensive performance from Nebraska turns a close game into an L very quickly.
2. No special teams meltdowns. Touchbacks, Adi. Enough said.
3. Don't let Taylor feel that he has to win by himself. Part of a QBs maturation is understanding the talent around him and learning how to use it. Taylor is very talented, but you hope it doesn't override good decision making. Against Texas you can't make the selfish read, or try to take over the game by yourself. Be a cog that works with the machine, not the wrench that wrecks it.
4. Pick off/strip Gilbert 2-3 times and it's over.
