Imani Cross with a 100-yard game under his belt already. What a nice freshman year he's having! 30 rushes for 228 yards in three games. They couldn't bring the man down.

Thanks for doing this, Landlord.

Are these B1G stats or national stats?

These have to be national, you have seen the B1G games haven't you I also believe that during the Idaho St game they said something about how Taylor was like the second in TD passes for the Big 10.

They appear to be national.

Stats from FCS games shouldn't even count towards your regular season totals. After today Nebraska's totals will sky rocket on everything.

Maher still sucks.

Maher still sucks.

He's starting to remind me of that baseball player with their contract up at the end of the season. He plays lights out and receives the new contract(read scholly) and then tanks the year after. What happened to the kid to get him so out of whack this year? He's really stinking it up.

I like to refer to this as The Larry Johnson Effect.

All the accolades got to his head. The pressure is on him and he is crumbling under it.

The last time we played an FCS team, Q_Many, we won 17-3. At one point it was looking like 17-10, but for a block in the back on a pick-six that SDSU had. So I mean, when we put a 73-7 lickin' on a team, can't we enjoy it?

Oh, I enjoy it very much! I'll take it. Most schools have one podunk school they play each year.

I was just relaying what some writers are saying.

 

[zoogs]

Ah, cool and I can certainly see the merit to what Sean is saying there. I just...don't want to take away these stats. They're too sweet-lookin'.

 

[QMany]

Related to one of these stats, Kenny Bell's yards per reception, how do you all feel about that play being defined as a pass? That was the one "reception" he had and it went for 68 yards. It happened in one of the night games and was a big play in the game. If I remember correctly, it was fumbled and then it was called an incomplete pass?!?

 

[zoogs]

That was sorta like a shovel pass and it was this past game. Taylor just flipped it forward to Bell...who took off with it. It benefits Taylor, whose stats are inflated hugely by it despite being more or less a handoff for him, but hey, that's the way things go. You're right, if it had been dropped, it would have been an incomplete pass.
