[QUOTE="mhuml32, post: 1655949, member: 3621"] This is the name of the game for football in close games. Mistakes cost you wins. Lovie's mantra was built along the belief of creating turnovers to tip the scales. Lots of coaches focus on turnovers as the difference maker. It's easy to pin the issues on Frost but there will be games later this season where we are frustrated with a couple interceptions or penalties (hello first game against Virginia). These perceptions also cut both ways. Nebraska was fortunate that two of the blown coverages from Illinois were in the red zone (resulted in a touchdown for them or a bad pass that cost them a TD). Navarro's fumble likely wiped points off of the board for Illinois. Nebraska also had a much healthier roster than Illinois (no Armstrong + Hightower likely restricted some passing options, no Slaughter removed a lineman on a day where both teams were swapping out guys because of the heat, lost Peters for 3/4 of the game, lost Hart for the final 1/3 of the game).
