Scratchtown Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Here is what is nuts, considering where we are as a team right now Nebraska Defense -- on a national scale Passing Defense - 13th, 171 yards per game Rushing Defense - 10th, 96 yards per game Scoring Defense - 4th, 11 points per game Total Yards Allowed - 9th, 267 yards per game Passing Effeciency Defense - 7th, 96 (????) Nebraska Offense -- on a national scale Passing Offense - Below 50th, less than 230 ypg Rushing Offense - Below 50th, less than 154 ypg Scoring Offense - Below 50th, less than 28 ppg Total Offense - Below 50th, less than 390 ypg I got my stats from sports illustrated. They apparently only keep track of the top 50 in the nation, so I put the stats of the team in 50th in the given category and just said it was less than that. I would be curious as to where we rank as an offense as compared to the entire nation rather than just the top 50. If I were playing for the Defense I would be soooo mad right now at he offense.

You would think that if they really do practice 1's against 1's, (starting to doubt that) that our offense would be more prepared than what they are. As I have said before, maybe they don't because they don't want to destroy the psyche of the offensive players. What better D to have to practice against, use it!!! Quote Link to comment
NoKoolAidForME Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 The one thing you risk trying to help the offense is not being as prepared on defense. I understand what people feel when they say just go against our 1's but IMO its not the job of the starting defense to prepare the offense. Its the job of the offensive players, the defensive scout team, and the coaching staff job. Quote Link to comment

According to the NCAA site, Nebraska ranks 57(221), 62(146), 54(27.6) and 68(367) respectively (ypg/ppg in parenthesis) in each of those categories. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNMO Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 The D needs to work against the schemes of the opposing team, the O needs to work against the schemes of the opposing D. Hence the term scout team. Quote Link to comment

I understand what people feel when they say just go against our 1's but IMO its not the job of the starting defense to prepare the offense. Its the job of the offensive players, the defensive scout team, and the coaching staff job. The reason I bring it up, is because it is something TO did all the time. Yes, it is the job of the scout team to prepare either the O or D for what they will see in any given game. Yet, Jason Peter did stress the fact that it was also very important to practice 1's against 1's because of the talent level you will face doing that and it was usaully done towards the end of practice. Sorry, but most of the guys on the scout team are there because they aren't as good as the guys who suite up on Saturday's. Like Jason pointed out, it made the actual games seem easy. Both are equally important, I believe. TO felt it was vital to the Huskers success. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 This D is ridiculous. Our O is also ridiculous just not in a good way. Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Our defense would probably beat our offense in a game. The offense would go 3 and out, then they'd punt. The offense would then get the ball back from the punt and try to score in the other direction. Naturally, it's fair to assume the defense will get more pick-six's than our offense will score TDs in this fictional game. Gosh, we suck. But GO BLACKSHIRTS! Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 This offense sucks all the way around. Lack of talent, lack of inspiration. We have to start looking for better commits on offense, especially on the o-line and receivers. Quote Link to comment
t_husker Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 i thought this thread was going to be about if our offense played our defense in a game. if that were the case i am pretty sure our defense would win 21-3. Quote Link to comment
