These numbers, on the other hand, are not: A 4-1 loss in the turnover department, 21 points allowed off those giveaways, 11 penalties for 119 total yards, including two at absolutely critical junctures, and two more missed kicks.
The Huskers lost four fumbles – two charged to Martinez, one to junior receiver JD Spielman and one to junior running back Dedrick Mills, all of whom also made significant contributions – and committed 11 penalties. Two flags that jump out: A holding call on Brenden Jaimes, who played all 98 snaps after suffering an apparent left leg injury last week, late in the first half as the Huskers were trying to mount a game-tying drive.
