Doc’s Diagnosis: A Sack That Didn’t Have to Be

Familiar issues led to this blown opportunity against Michigan

The Huskers wasted a prime scoring opportunity after reaching the Michigan 11 yard line early in the second half Saturday. What went wrong? The ingredients are all too familiar to Dr. Rob Zatechka, who has seen similar scenarios unfold for the Huskers over the past several seasons. First came the untimely mental mistake: a false-start penalty on third-and-2 at the 11. That made it third-and-7 at the 16, where poor pass-blocking fundamentals on the offensive line led to a sack of Nebraska quarterback Heinrich Haarberg. Dr. Rob breaks it all down in this edition of Doc's Diagnosis.
