Article from Sam that looks at the potential for the D next year with guys returning. Good read. A lot of tackles, sacks, starts etc coming back. On a D that is improving each year.....Has some analytical guys break down the improvements. Also pumps the sunshine on the O......Downward trend each year.....
Wisconsin, Iowa and Northwestern tend to have great statistical defenses because their offenses play keep away. Frost is 1-7 against those teams. While it’s hard to be the best teams with that approach, NU simply isn’t at the point where winning the league title is the first goal. A winning season and a bowl game are needed, pronto.
The Huskers’ offense isn’t at that point either.. In Matrix's system, Frost's offense improved by 4.4% in 2018 but has been in decline since. NU's score this season was a 10.79% decline from 2019, which was a 9.3% decline from 2018.
