Toe Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Quote Three Notable Transfer Portal Losses QB Chubba Purdy (Nevada): 59.5 PFF Grade EDGE Chief Borders (Pittsburgh): 53.9 PFF Grade QB Jeff Sims (Arizona State): 37.8 PFF Grade Not exactly a surprise, but kinda funny (in a black humor sort of way) how Purdy is a much bigger loss than Sims.

brophog Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Keep in mind the top 4 scoring defenses in the country last year were Big Ten teams. That's probably somewhat an indictment of Big Ten offenses, but a top 4 ranking in conference likely means an extremely high national ranking. Considering we were one of the absolute worst offenses in the country last year, 7th in the conference is quite the honor. 2 Quote Link to comment

caveman99 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 How is the win probability against ILL N/A? Especially at home? They give the Huskers a 57% win probability against RU, but N/A against ILL? Quote Link to comment

They give the Huskers a 57% win probability against RU, but N/A against ILL? I think for some reason it won't calculate probabilities for Friday games - maybe not enough data to account for short rest? In any case, assuming it's based mostly on comparing FPIs and home field (not explicitly factoring in how the teams match up against each other), probably a bit over 60%. We're at 54% at Purdue who has a similar FPI to Illinois. Looking at the Iowa/Wisconsin numbers, home field looks to be a significant factor - so maybe close to 65%. 1 Quote Link to comment
