Red Five

A W is good enough, being our history with them. But their offense has stunk this year, so I would like to see our D show some dominance. And for sure I don't want to watch our guys chasing Thorson down the field on a 50 yard run.

Jordan Stephenson Ewing Theory...

What am I missing? Colorado game was November 23, 2001, so can't be that. Pederson hired in 2002. Opps. Typed the date wrong...

There has only been one turning point for Nebraska football over the last few decades - November 23, 2001

Supposedly their o-line is abysmal. And being sacked 4 times per game doesn't help the average (which is a function of my first sentence).

I agree. I think that Prukop is a much better runner than Thorson as well. Looking at this long runs from last year, he went for 68 and 49 vs NU, 42 vs Stanford, then a handful of 15-20 yard runs. This year through 3 games, his longest is 14 vs Illinois St. His longest vs Western Michigan was 5 and vs Duke was 3.

Oh, and he's not a real good passer either. 2015 - 150/295, 50.8%, 5.2 ypa, 7 td, 9 int 2016 - 50/102, 49.0%, 6.9 ypa, 4 td, 2 int

To take it another step, Thorson rushing by game as a starter (these numbers include sacks) 8/68 8.5 ypc (Stanford) 2/7 3.5 ypc 11/211.9 ypc 9/45 5.0 ypc 11/24 2.2 ypc 3/-4 -1.3 ypc 11/10 0.9 ypc 9/126 14.0 ypc 4/15 3.8 ypc 7/48 6.9 ypc 7/7 1.0 ypc 6/7 1.2 ypc 12/23 1.9 ypc 5/-8 -1.6 ypc 12/30 2.5 ypc 7/-24 -3.4 ypc So taking out the game in Lincoln, he averages 2.3 ypc. And this year he has been especially bad on the ground, with -2 rushing yards through 3 games.

If we keep winning We are going to get threads like these every week, aren't we?

Instead of providing paperwork to disprove any of this or answer many of the questions asked, the Trump Campaign basically released a statement calling Fahrenthold a liar and saying The Clinton Foundation is evil. http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/296965-trump-camp-no-intent-or-motive-for-trump-foundation-to

Lost Woodhead too. Between him and Keenan Allen, it was like I was drafting with a $140 budget compared to everyone else's $200.

Yep, the sea of red will invade Evanston, but blend in well with other red Cardinal fans at the Wrigley Cub game, and Kirkwood, before the night game at Ryan Field. Will be a tough one for NU to beat UNL who is on a roll after Oregon, maybe for the Western B10 title. But the Purple did beat the Red at year at Lincoln. We'll see. There is only one NU and they wear RED Calling Nebraska "NU" is a giant misnomer, because the university isn't known as "Nebraska University". Whereas, Northwestern's title is "Northwestern University". "Dear old Nebraska U"

How happy do you think he is this year not having to be involved in the Trump mess?

Loudest game that I have been to since 2009 OU imo. And I was at Miami '14, OSU '11, and Wisky '12 games.

His 247 page says 4.5, and every HS kids 40 is pretty inflated, so 4.7-4.8 sounds about right. http://247sports.com/Player/Tommy-Armstrong-2521?Institution=21619

I found me!

As I said in the Iowa preview thread, whoever scheduled this game from Iowa needs to be fired.

Freshman Pierre Allen was pretty good. Not sure what happened after that, but his production ramped way down. Seemed to be more or less the same story with Meredith and Turner. And McMullen

This might be in the works. Auburn has lost 7 straight home games to P5 schools. Also lost 9 of their last 11 SEC games. Wow....that's not conducive to keeping your job. How long hast the staff been there? This is his 4th year. But he has some equity from taking Auburn to the 2013 NCG and was also Auburn's OC when they won the 2010 Natty with Cam. Fun fact: He was the HC of Arky St in 2012 when they came to Lincoln. NU won 42-13. And that was the game Pelini left a halftime. Auburn HC is Gus Malzahn for those wondering. details, details...

One of these coaches does not belong in this sentence. I know. 3 of them don't eat boogers on the sidelines. 1 does.

Lot to digest and good bits on info in the column, I strongly suggest reading it all. And this stat is kinda amazing to me: http://www.omaha.com/huskers/football/mckewon-history-shows-huskers-must-prove-they-can-build-momentum/article_764d80b8-d9f6-5bee-9390-31b54cf19a63.html
