jessica0 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 UCF is 25th in the country in rushing. Nebraska is 79th in the country in rushing. And UCF has played two fewer games. UCF also has a better passing game that is the second most efficient in the nation. UCF offense > Nebraska offense and it isn't even close. 5 Link to comment
Whistlepig Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 its about a winning culture, which includes running the football which as one poster pointed out, UCF has out gained us in rushing with 2 fewer games, they are in the top 25, haven't lost a game....I really don't want to go on or this will embarrass the OP's and his point.....which I'm not really sure of in the first place...trolling maybe? wait ...what?!? 1 Link to comment
husker_fan_from_sweden Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 UCF also have/develop an identity and play to their strengths. NU finds a strength and telegraphs it to the defense when it's coming. 3 Link to comment

4skers89 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 For UCF's season I have 78 runs (427 yds) and 50 passes (554 yds) on 1st down. Run 61% of the time averaging 5.5 yards. Pass 39% averaging 11.1 yards. 39 runs were 2 yards or less or basically 50% of their first down runs were > 2 yards. 10 runs (12%) over 10 yards. 1 Link to comment

You guys understand that rushing rankings are determined by yards per game, not the total quantity of yards...right? UCF playing two fewer games has no relevance towards any of that. 1 Link to comment

Good point; but if UCF only found a way to rush for a whooping 3 more yards this season, they would have more total rushing yards w/ 2 (& 1/4) fewer games. Link to comment
southernoregonhusker Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Arizona is fourth on that list. They're 3-2 with a home loss to Houston. Link to comment

For DONU season 116 runs (541 yds) and 64 passes (396 yds) on 1st down. Run 64% of the time averaging 4.66 yards. Pass 35% \averaging 6.2 yards. 48 runs were 2 yards or less or 59% of their first down runs were > 2 yards. 16 runs (14%) over 10 yards. For first down interceptions I put the yards at (-) the return yardage. It makes sense that we would run more on first down because our passing is not so good. We have 891 yards rushing so 61% of those yards are on 1st down. 1 Link to comment
lo country Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'm sure if you look at UCF they do not abandon the run when it nets 1-2 yards....They scheme throughout the game and adjust. Their 2 QB's are throwing at 68% and 83% IIRC. That's not bad. We are currently at about 50%...... 12 guys have rushed the ball. Averaging 5.8 per carry. Their top 2 backs average 9.2 and 7.7 respectively. It appears they know how to run the ball efficiently. I'd take their offense in a heart beat. 6 Link to comment
huskerfan333157 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 This post went over everyone's head. People complain that Riley doesn't run the ball enough yet he runs the ball more on first down than frost. 3 Link to comment
swmohusker Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 But when he runs the ball does he line up in 12 personnel and motion a receiver in and then run the ball from a bunch look. Huh? I bet he doesnt do that everytime. 1 Link to comment

UCF playing two fewer games has no relevance towards any of that. UCF not having played a full game and the stuff they went through has a factor. You can't deny that. UCF is better at running and passing than Nebraska. The facts prove it. The eye test proves it. 1 Link to comment
