Driving for 6: Looking for more TFLs from Husker linebackers
1. Let's start the drive with a statistic to keep an eye on.
Through five games, Nebraska linebackers have only six tackles for loss. Michael Rose-Ivey has four, and Dedrick Young and Josh Banderas have one apiece.
The Husker linebackers' current rate of 1.2 TFLs per game represents a 50-percent dip compared to their final totals in both 2014 (27) and 2015 (26).
Again, it's not a crisis. Just something to watch.
2. Can anyone catch Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson in the Heisman Trophy race?
One set of projections illustrates a sizable gap between Jackson and the field.
