If you could choose to improve one element of this team in the fall what would it be?

Tough choice. I went with improvement in passing game but turnovers and penalties are also very big problems.

Serving alcohol would be a good thing regardless of the product on the field.

Good god tie between turnovers and penalties for me. Those two alone have lost how many games now?

Turnovers. You typically lose more games than you win with a negative turnover margin.

Feel like I saw a deal within the last couple years that said a positive turnover margin was the greatest indicator of success in CFB.

My kids have heard me yell “GODDAMNIT ADRIAN” too many times over the past three years.

It’s certainly the one that stands out the most of those options. The defense only forced 2 lost fumbles last year, that’s hard to believe. Even in a short season. I had to double take on that

I think that's right. I'd be shocked if another single stat predicted success better.

Turnovers- they have plagued this team for too long. The Huskers have given too many games away with turnovers in the last several years. I thought the defense would be forcing many more by this point, but they aren’t(yet) and Frost’s offense cannot hold onto the ball at all.
Penalties have improved significantly as the seasons have progressed. Unfortunately in a handful of early season games over the past 3 years they have been atrocious, and significantly contributed to losses. I still go with turnovers.

Turnovers or greatly improved special teams would be my pick

I'll settle for Busch pints in Memorial though

I am honestly a little scared to see what would happen if booze started flowing before this team stopped sucking donkey balls.

Turnovers for sure. I hate them

What about get better coaches and recruit better players? I know that’s a bit too deep for this poll but wanted to give my three cents

This was my thought. We should improve the coaching which would improve the playing.

Nebraska has almost unbelievably bad luck recovering fumbles. if I recall the recent OWH article, we are worst in the country over the last 15 to 20 years at recovering forced fumbles, and it's not particularly close

Probably because our football players have been bad at football
