Husker Football: 5 Major Questions – McNeese State Edition‏

4) Can Tim Beck’s offense go turnover-free in back-to-back games?

In what turned out to be the Huskers’ first 60 minutes of botch-free ball since taking on Southern Miss in 2012, the offense was able to efficiently move up and down the field using both grinding runs and big plays.

It’s truly amazing what the Tommy Armstrong, Jr.-led offense did, with its 784 yards being the most in the Big Ten’s modern era.

However, as anyone familiar with football will tell you, consistency is key.

A scary stat: Bo Pelini-coached Nebraska teams have never posted back-to-back games without a turnover. There were a few close calls against the Owls, as Armstrong nearly had a few passes intercepted and Kenny Bell muffed a punt, but was able to knock it out of bounds.

Another stat worth noting: When McNeese State played its only FBS opponent last year (South Florida), the Cowboys forced three turnovers and won the game convincingly, 53-21.

Can the Huskers turn in two clean games in a row for the first time under Pelini?
