If Becks insists on his 50/50 offense...

Rush Att: 584

Pass Att: 378

Aint the truth a b*tch. I have my complaints with Beck, but I think he does a pretty good job overall and is showing improvement. I find more often than not his play calling isn't the biggest issue, it's the execution by the players.

Sacks in college count as a rush attempt, with negative yardage. Huskers were sacked 17 times for 140 yards.

no stats are keep for rushes/scrambles off of pass plays, they count as a rush. Taylor did this 4-5 times a game. the other guys less.

just saying... closer then the stats show.

I was doing a little research... what is Tommy's official record as a starter? Couldn't find that.

He has started his career 7-1, including one Top-25 victory.

Taylor started his career 9-1, including Top-10 and Top-20 victories.

So you claim 50/50. Stats show 61/39. You counter that it's really closer than they look ..... as in, it should be 60/40.

You convinced me.

I might have to go back and look it up, but I believe Taylor was 8-4 as a freshman, with Cody Green winning his two starts that year. Taylor did play more and better against stronger competition though in 2010.

I just wanna say that if we throw only 14 passes against Iowa, we probably win that game by 21 points.

That would be correct. Martinez didn't play against Iowa St or Colorado. So Martinez started 8-1, but we did beat a Top 10 and Top 15 team during that time.

actually if you take those 17 sacks, and say 50 rushes off of passplays (3.8 a game. probably a little high... but whats ever)

that creates a 517/445 ratio in play calling. 54/46

guess I should have used the term "balanced" instead of 50/50

Didn't he also start against Oklahoma and Washington? Or were you not counting post season?

The discussion was about how they started their careers. I.e., started 7-1 vs. started 8-1.

He also started against A&M - was just pointing out that technically the original statement that he started 8-1 is true if you're looking at the first 9 games.

Thanks! I figured that was the discussion but wanted some clarification.
