We've been waiting for turnovers to regress to the mean for 20 years. It's gonna be a hell of a run we're going to have to go on to even out.

"Has there been a worse event since?" Aside from the Tanner Lee Era, no.

This is going to sound insane, but it's a testament to how bad things were. -10 isn't that big of an improvement. That still ranks 93rd last year in turnovers lost. That number needs to be -20 or so, and that's actually very achievable. It's hard to say on the impact of the QB run game. Yes, it helped at times to move the ball and it generated a few big plays, but it led to a lot of those turnovers. 3 fumbles in the Purdue game alone were on QB runs. Nebraska the past few years has run the ball pretty good until the opponent decides they are not. Once the other team starts rolling down defenders and loading the box the run game shuts off, and it becomes a game of hoping you pop a big play somewhere. Last year, because of the QB run game more of those popped than the year prior, but unfavorable box counts were still hugely responsible for the anemic offense. A better spaced field, like we saw this spring, I think will not only counter any gains there may have been with the QB run game, but make the overall running game better. The game becomes 6 on 6 and first contact is 3-4 yards downfield and it's up to the RB to beat someone. That scenario is more controllable for Satterfield because he's accustomed to using the screen and RPO game to control defenders much better than he is trying to sequence run plays to control defenders. I also think we have some big bodied receivers and tight ends that will create a lot of issues for those conflict linebackers and nickels and help control the Safeties. We can play like a 12 personnel team, but those two "tight ends" are a very athletic Fidone who can line up at various spots and a 220 lb receiver and then still put 2 speedsters out there that you have to somehow account for. There is a lot of room for creativity with personnel and alignment and Satterfield can be a pretty creative playcaller. I think we will see him much more in his element this year. Overall, what I think will likely happen is the run game will be more than fine against average or so defensive lines, but may struggle some against the very top end units because they can make up the numbers through talent. Man on man, though, when we're plus 1 or even against most defenses I like this line and it'll be up to Satterfield and staff to put them in the best possible position for success.

Oi.

Did a principal say this to you in your younger days?

Meh...you might be right...but probably both.

No, it was a joke. I should have added a laughy face.

Wonder if he or we would have considered walking on here.

That's way more true for old people than college students.

Did I miss something? Are you saying Biden extorted Bibi for dirt in Trump to help with his reelection?

So you're saying he hasnt

And likely would have won

ABC: 2 Ukrainians detained for allegedly plotting Zelenskyy assassination with Russia, Ukraine says

Fuggin losers

I thought at one point he would be running for President.

This would be the same thing the instant Biden tries to get Bibi to investigate Trump to help him in the election.

I wouldn't put us in yet and would make us earn it, but I appreciate the positive national attention.

I guess the impeachment proceedings should commence since that’s the standard.

I mean, turnovers for the offense will be way down, period, we know that. Say it is even 10 less, that will be HUGE. Passing game will be better, running game will be "worse" just because there won't be the QB run game. Defense will be solid, mostly because of the front 3 and the lame teams they play. NU will be favored in probably 7 games and the only double digit dog games they are in is vs OSU and USC. Wisconsin and Iowa will both b 3 either way.
