Episode notes
Win First-Down Shortyardage
- Get five yards on first down to open up the playbook and create second-and-short opportunities.
- Use those situations to take shots downfield and keep the defense guessing.
Target Their Secondary's Athleticism
- Nebraska's defensive strength is in their secondary with their best athletes at corner and safety.
- Attack sideline-to-sideline and vary looks to force their DBs to cover the whole field.
Protect The Ball On The Road
- Avoid turnovers, especially on the road, to prevent giving Nebraska extra possessions and momentum.
- Aim to finish possessions with a kickoff every time rather than giving clear scoring chances.
