Red Report: Blackshirts have to 'put the fire out'; questions at QB, WR for Northwestern

The Nebraska football team is tied for 128th nationally in turnovers lost with 14. That's the same number as 0-5 New Mexico State and just one fewer than than Hawaii, who leads the nation.

That means the Huskers' defense, already on the field plenty as a result of NU's uptempo offense, has been forced into sudden-change situations more than almost any other unit in the country.

Already facing long odds against a talented Ohio State offense, the Blackshirts three times had to hustle back onto the field after three first-half interceptions. All three ended up leading to Buckeye touchdowns.
