Twodocs Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Is Nebraska more like Marshall OR is Nebraska more like Alabama? The VT QB had -26 yards rushing against Alabama. "So far, Virginia Tech’s offense has performed at both ends of the spectrum. In their 34-24 loss to the Crimson Tide, the Hokies totaled only 155 yards of offense. In their rout of Marshall last week, Virginia Tech amassed 605 yards of total offense -- the most ever under offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring." http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/i...springboard-win Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I would say we are closer to Alabama than we are Marshall. Which probably means we will give up an amount of yards somewhere between the two. I say it looks like this 605-155 = 450*.75 = 337.50 yds of offense given up. Which still doesnt bode well for us.

Overland Park Husker Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Is Nebraska more like Marshall OR is Nebraska more like Alabama? I think Nebraska is more like Nebraska. We play our own game with our own schemes. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Is Nebraska more like Marshall OR is Nebraska more like Alabama? I think Nebraska is more like Nebraska. We play our own game with our own schemes. Very nice. We will find out Saturday. If we lose by a small point margin or win, then we are more like Alabama. Lose badly, and we're like Marshall. I don't think any team on our schedule is capable of dominating us this year though. Not saying we are overly talented and capable of winning every game on our schedule, but we have enough talent and speed to the point of not losing terribly. Quote Link to comment
no_name_needed_2001 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 We Are Marshall! oh wait... Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Marshall is a worse team than either sunbelt team we have played this year. If our numbers don't mean anything after who we played, they don't get to count any numbers from Marshall. And if trends are what they have been for VT, they will play a field position game with offense, and not be able to score many points. If NU does not come out on the wrong end of the turnover battle, and avoids stupid penalties, the Huskers should win. The offense should be able to put of 30, and thats about all you need to beat VT unless the aforementioned happens. VT is not a team set up to win a shoot out, They average about 155 passing a game.

Marf Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Numbers, statistics, don't mean much here. If we can cope with the crowd, and play through the pressure early we'll be fine. If not there's gonna be some trouble. Gotta play with heart, as cliche as that sounds. Quote Link to comment
