LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska is starting the week with an emphasis on keeping hold of the football after committing a school record-tying eight turnovers in the 9-7 loss to Iowa State.

The Cornhuskers spent the first 20 minutes of Monday's practice working on ball-security drills. Coach Bo Pelini said he was "embarrassed" by the number of times the Huskers put the ball on the ground against the Cyclones.

Receiver Chris Brooks continues to be sidelined after injuring his hip in the Oct. 17 game against Texas Tech. Pelini said he had no idea when Brooks would be back.
