I believe Taylor had 1 run in the first half that went for less than 4 yds, and had long runs of 30 and 75.

UCF's in game dominance skews this ratio because teams are generally playing from behind. If we contrast this with UCF's per play averages we get. Rushing YPC 3.2 (17) Passing YPA 6.5 (33) Nebraska, playing more neutrally dominated games ranks 70, 45.

We probably won't see a growing gap, for two reasons. First, Nebraska's numbers are already pretty pedestrian, so we aren't likely to see a huge drop off due to schedule. Second, UCF's numbers are still a bit inflated due to the number of games. If anything, they'll regress slightly to the mean as their number of games increase.

They ran on 3rd in goal with like 100 linemen and a DT as the FB. You can't get much more smash mouth than that.

That makes two of us.

Oklahoma beats Ohio St Ohio St beats Maryland Maryland beats Texas Texas beats Iowa St Iowa St beats Oklahoma You don't think Iowa St can beat Iowa St?

Or passing attack. You say outside run, I say slant route. Frankly, I'm not sure that our route tree isn't more limited than our run block schemes. It's just hard to see due to camera angles.

A lot of my posts can be summed up as situational football. Rutgers was an example where we are talking about how halftime is a rare opportunity in an alternate possession game to get two possessions (Nebraska didn't manage that well). Last night we talked about the last play before half and how Chryst and Riley failed to play call around a potential 4th down when in that 35-40 yd area (something we talked about UCF doing well a few weeks back). This highlight video has a brief snippet of halftime in which UCF is leading by 21 and Frost is worried about his opponent potentially scoring first because the rain is coming. How many games ever get cut short like this, and yet he's already planning for the possibility. That's situational football. If anything comes out of anything I've ever posted, I hope it is to look not at the results but at the "why". I don't care about wins and losses and records and resumes, I care about "why" because if you understand why something happens you can repeat the process. i think that says a lot about why I like certain coaches and don't prefer others.

I know they've been easily covering some big spreads and Nebraska, well, hasn't, but wow is that eye opening.

But as I wrote about Cook a few years ago when this debate was raging, sub-60% passers rarely find any success in the NFL, and Lee is well and consistently short of that mark.

That's basically it, except for number 6, which they try to define but don't quite get there. Multiple is the word they want. "Balance" doesn't make you unpredictable, it's does just the opposite. There's nothing magical about equality, which is what balance implies, but there is value in doing multiple things, using multiple formations, throwing to multiple targets, having multiple run options, etc. I know it sounds picky, but I rail on this so much because this is exactly why Langs offense is so predictable.
-
There's certainly been some improvements from the first three to the second three, though that's mostly because the first three set the bar so low.

This is Frosts Cincinatti pregame press conference. https://ucf.rivals.com/news/scott-frost-press-conference-cincinnati-week Compare his tone and assertiveness to Riley's post game Wisconsin press conference.

I think Nebraska got better tonight and I think people will see that when the heat of the moment calms down and the narrative of the big picture is no longer clouding the focus. This game comes down to 17-17. Wisconsin is facing a hostile crowd, pinned deep and they do what humans do when they're under pressure....they lean on what's comfortable. For them that's their power/counter series. I posed the question earlier in the week of what Nebraska's key play is. What does Nebraska execute as cleanly and confidently as Wisconsin does that series?

With Wisconsin Performance, New Coach Guaranteed?

I won't lie, I was actually mad when it was announced. -
In the rain shortened game they were 3 of 4 on third down. That's crazy.

I don't think that at all. The problem is, the most important part is ultimately the catch itself and that's too often not happening. But they gave Wisconsin's secondary some serious issue for most of the game. Those aren't remotely comparable games. -
Its only Cincinnati, but it's telling that they're showing no let up after two big wins.
