We are completely out--recruiting the other teams in the Big 10 West right now. Per 247, Wisconsin is 26th, Purdue is 28th, Iowa is 29th, Minnesota is 31st, Northwestern is 37th, and Illinois is 63rd.
That's crazy. Both of those rotating assemblies stayed put on the stand and spun a few times while the rest of the two motors went all over the place. Unbelievable.
So I took a quick look at our season stats so far and two things really stuck out to me that I would never have predicted:
1. Our team average yards per run is 3.1 yards.
2. Martinez has been sacked 8 times.
And this is after playing football power-houses Southern Alabama and Colorado. I'm not going to get into the nuts and bolts of these stats as they've been covered pretty good in other threads, but like I said, these stats really have given me a sober viewpoint for the season so far. Here's to MAJOR improvements throughout the season!
Man, what is it about Nebraska for the past 20 years? The 3rd quarter used to be when we stepped on our opponents throat and completely broke them. But that was a long time ago, I guess. Sigh...
