1995 Huskers 0.217

Unless I figured wrong, someone double check? Interesting stat, though as has been said not entirely indicative of a successful defense.

 

 

 

• Opens up all practice to media and fans at Oregon St.
• likes the 4-3 defense
• preaches fundamentals
• teams always have few penalties
• Callahan also has no problem with notifying players about coaching change by email.

As said, opening up practice here at Nebraska would be insane. Not really even feasible. The same or worse on penalties, much much worse this year. And pretty sure that Bo preached fundamentals all the time too right? Isn't that pretty much a generic statement put out by all coaches? Complete opposite of Bo? Ok, how?

 

Ha. I saw that with the penalties too! I am starting to think the next stat will be that Riley's teams do not poop.

 

Lol! Does that make them full of sh#t?

Anyways, some more stats. I get that it's not super easy to recruit to Oregon St. but, 1 5* recruit ever, and less 4* recruits in the last 10 years than we've had in the last 2. I really don't know about this. :S

Lists are kinda long, obviously, but interesting none the less.

Are you sure we passed more than ran in 2009? If that's the case, I'm really surprised. I thought we were balanced early in the season and then mostly running late.

 

Yes sir. Here's the breakdown:

 

Rushing = 147 ypg.

Passing = 176 ypg.

Total = 323 ypg.

That's a VERY misleading stat, lets look at attempts.

 

2009

Rushing- 512 attempts

Passing- 364 attempts

 

Rushing per play- 4.0

Passing per play- 6.8

 

The offense was 70% more effecient when they pass the ball on a per play basis, even as awful as the QB play, WR play and pass protection was, it was more productive to pass the ball.

 

2008

Rushing- 486 attempts

Passing- 433 attempts

 

Rushing per play- 4.5

Passing per play- 8.4

 

This shows how much better the 2008 offense was, much more "balanced", 13% more YPC, 24% better per pass attempt. If NU gets back to that, combined with the D, they will be on the way to a BCS game next year.

Also though 12 interceptions for the 364 attempts (1:30.333) vs 11 fumbles in 512 attempts (1:46.545) And that includes the freak fumbles from the iowa state game (some? of which were on passing plays) So +2.8 more yards per pass play but also 33%? more likely to turn the ball over. With the defense we had, and should continue to have, the risk isn't worth the benefit.

Huskers - 37

Missouri (notice no z's) - 24

Rushing Yards - 224

Passing Yards - 266

Nebraska: 34

LL: 13

Rushing: 175

Passing: 227

Yeah but Big 10 Elite = Big 12 Middle Class < Big 12 Elite

How does Oklahoma end up in the Fiesta Bowl?

2006: Texas, fumble after game-sealing reception

No question for me. Though this thread is so depressing :'(

People can use statistics to say whatever they want. If Nebraska had beaten VA Tech yesterday, then people would have moved on to, "Well Nebraska hasn't beaten a Top 10 team on the road since ______" It's all how people want to view Nebraska. Remember when we were fixated on 7 straight bowl losses back in the 80's-90's? Before that it was "Nebraska losing x number games in a row to Oklahoma."

 

We'll win some games. Maybe Missouri can look really good next week and catapult themselves into the Top 20. Or not

You are right, there will always be some negative streak, but I'm not just talking top 20 away games, here's a list of ALL the games we've won against ranked opponents in the last 10 years. Also check out my signature.

So 11 wins against ranked teams in 10 years, WOOT? After Solich's first 4 seasons we are a combined 3-20 against rated teams, that is sickening.

3rd and goal from the 31 yard line, close game, well lets call a QB draw!

The offensive play calling was ugly, just ugly.

Lame performance by Zac Lee and Shawn Watson (seriously 3rd and Goal from the 31 in a tight game and you run a QB draw? nice)

Big time props to Henery on his 70+ yard punt while running for his life as well as a couple other nice punts and of course the 5 field goals. Helu, started out slow but one hell of a job when he turned it on. Blackshirts, barring West (I believe it was him who blew the coverage on that huge bomb) played one hell of a game.

All in all very bad feeling left in my mouth, but nonetheless an impressive performance by the defense barring 1 play (which in football can count for everything) And we fall to yet another ranked team, woot -.- so drained now from this crap.

Only stats that matter are in my sig. We'll see this weekend if we can head in the right direction.

Be Nebraska's biggest win since 2001 against Oklahoma. And biggest road win since 1999 at Texas.

Any reason a 1930's throwback? I don't really care for throwbacks, but I at least understand us doing it as a throwback to the start of the 300 consecutive sellouts. What's the reason for CU in the 30s jerseys?

Consistent 10+ win seasons and finishes in the top 15?

Here's the video:

Really really amazing, damn crazy.

Pretty much have to play the game we did last year, but our defense needs to make 1 more play and we can't have any stupid penalties. We need to hold the ball as long as possible, and score on as many drives as possible. Don't even give them a chance to run the ball, have their offense sidelined all game.

LB troubles should be expected. Going into the Arkansas St. game we had a collective 5 games experience from the 3 starting LB's. Not exactly a recipe for success.

As for OL penalties that was a problem all last year and so far has remained this year. I'm really hoping that the coaching staff can start whipping these guys into shape and get them to quit with the stupid penalties. No excuses for the pre-snap penalties and the holding calls are almost always because they got beat. Sometimes these guys are going to have to let them get through, but preferably they'd be able to stop them and not get beat in the first place. (especially against Sun Belt Conference opponents)

I doubt OK St falls that far and we should probably be around 18-20 I'd think. Also don't doubt that Mizzou could drop even more than 1 spot after the Bowling Green game. Also with ND getting far more credit then they deserve year after year, don't be surprised to see them close to or even sneak into the top 25 even after the loss to Michigan.

No game day chat room this year?

And then passing efficiency you can see here: http://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/natlRank.jsp?year...v=IA&dest=O

Unfortunately Zac Lee is clear down at 22nd right now, but also have to keep in mind that those stats are only through the first game of the season, still a long ways to go.

Plenty of good ones of Tara in that album.
