CheeseHusker Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 All of this has to be better than losing 56-14 to Iowa. Quote Link to comment

They have some of the worst offenses, worst running games in the country, and the best, most consistent offense/running game in the conference the past several years is Urban Meyer's. 2 Quote Link to comment

Venables took some heat at OU for his defense at times. Now he’s a genius in the ACC. Everyone likes to say they don’t play D in that conference, but not enough credit is given to how good some of those offenses are as well. Over the years we’ve seen vaunted Big10 defenses like Michigan St. in the college playoff Get ripped open by good offenses Edited December 2, 2017 by olddominionhusker 1 Quote Link to comment

I agree. The Big Ten is a defensive focused and run-focused league and continues to produce great RB's. I am curious how Frost's defense handles the power running games as it seems most of UCF's competition this year (outside of Navy) was more pass heavy. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Chinander's defense has been good, not great this year. Either way, what they did this year is far better than how Nebraska performed. If you're looking for the silver lining, keep in mind that UCF's offensive was very good this year. Scoring a lot of points AND playing great defense is tough. You're putting defense out there a lot. And, in today's college football with all the powerful offenses and a rule book tuned in favor of offenses, it's all about scoring a lot and limiting the damage. That's what UCF did all year. 2 Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 At least he rushes the passer with more than 3 guys. USF and Memphis put a lot of points on that defense but both those teams have better offenses than just about everyone in Nebraska's division. Quote Link to comment

In terms of yards per play, UCF and Memphis rank 3rd and 4th in the country, respectively.

I'm almost certain Oklahoma beat one of the teams in the B1G championship game and are already in the CFP. So yes, please let NE be the Oklahoma of the B1G.

I'm not sure Brohm can overcome Purdue's suckiness. Quote Link to comment
