When you get in critical situations in the game, don't think of plays, think of players

Nebraska needs, in no particular order, a QB that isn't injured, blind, stupid or all of those things, and a competent OL. Injuries damaged continuity on each of those. Until they are at least above average, getting the ball to anyone specific will be a challenge.
The players turned the ball over 31 times.
2 players accounted for 21 of those.
2 players accounted for 21 of those.
....and 1 coaching staff that said in certain words: "if you turn the ball over, you won't play for us" - then proceeded to continue to play those 2 players.
More like "if you turn the ball over, and we have someone else that doesn't, ..."
Problem is that they all do/did.
Rhule painted himself into a corner with that. HH put the ball on the carpet 11 times and they kept rolling him out there. Tough look, but his other option was to put Sims in. Which is his own fault since he picked him. Another tough look.
Ok, point taken. Then it's the irresponsible play calling that increased probabilities of the turnover prone players to do just that. It ALL comes back to managing a game & your players....this coaching staff was ridiculously terrible at that.
I mean, we've had RBs (fumbles) and QBs (fumbles, ints) turn the ball over so nothing is safe.
AND supposedly Purdy wasn't healthy. RB same thing once injury bug hit so tough situation. How deep can you go on the bench when you run out of options
How many fumbles did the running backs have compared to the quarterbacks this season? And did one running back fumble more compared to other running backs?
EJ and AG both lost about the same amount of fumbles. AG's TOs were at the worst time against Minnesota.
Sims and HH fumbled much more than Purdy.
EJ and Purdy should have been the go to.
That wasn't a rhetorical question. I want numbers. You made the claim so break it down for us
You were the one who suggested the running backs fumbled as often as the quarterbacks. Which was stupid
