Comish Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Good stuff. Thanks! Also believe I heard somewhere recently that Huskers are one of a handful of teams in the top 20 both offensively and defensively. Anything to confirm that? Quote Link to comment

Can't remember where/when. We're 29th in scoring offense and 31st in scoring defense though. Quote Link to comment

huskrplaya Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 The net punting isn't right. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 We were Top 20 in Total Defense and Total Offense. We are 15th in Total Defense now. Our 263 yards against Iowa dropped us to 26th in Total Offense. Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Its amazing that 1 team in the conference has a higher turnover rate then we do. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 The net punting isn't right. Punting minus Punt return=Net punting Blame on special team. Actually net punting: Nebraska 36.06 Wisconsin 36.48 http://web1.ncaa.org...=IA_teamnetpunt Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I added the stats from conference games only from here: http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-footbl/stats/2012-2013/confonly.html Getting rid of the cupcakes and looking at the games where Wisconsin O-line had improved, the rankings change.

QMany Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Take Michigan and Northwestern off our schedule and give me Indiana and Illinois. I bet our in-conference stats would look better, too. Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Overkill Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Decided to take stats from only common opponents as well as the first WI/NU game. Some things kind of jumped out at me when comparing games against each other as well as OSU, Minnesota, Michigan State, and Penn State. Offensively: Yards per rushing attempt (not the NET), Wisconsin = 4.38, NU = 5.7. Using the NET yards in the equation, Wisconsin's average drops to 3.36, with NU at just over 5. Yards per game between all the common opponents: Wisconsin: 327, Nebraska: 446 Rushing/Passing TD's: Wisconsin - 15, Nebraska 19 First Downs: Wisconsin - 87, Nebraska - 114 Turnovers (ugh): Wisconsin 3, Nebraska 13. OUCHIE OUCHIE OUCHIE!! Penalties ... Wisconsin 13-135, Nebraska 36-319 Another OUCHIE OUCHIE OUCHIE!! Points: Wisconsin 113 (22.6 avg), Nebraska 166 (33.2 avg) Now defensively... Rushing yards per attempt: Wisconsin 4.38, Nebraska 5.14 (using NET yards per attempt - Wisconsin 3.78 per, Nebraska 4.63) Average yards allowed per common opponent: Wisconsin 312, Nebraska 344 Rushing/Passing TD's allowed: Wisconsin 11 (only 4 are rushing TD's), Nebraska 18 (14 rushing TD's given up!!) First Downs: Wisconsin 88, Nebraska 84 Turnovers: Wisconsin 5, Nebraska 9 Points: Wisconsin 104 (20.8 avg), Nebraska 151 (30.2 avg - damn you Ohio State game!) What's all this tellin' me? Nothing really (except our offense is better than theirs on paper, and their defense better than ours on paper), but the turnovers and penalties are far more glaring when the numbers are in full view.

kchusker_chris Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 our offense was ranked 58th in November. rough month for the unit. but wisconsin was ranked 85th through that same period. nebraska defense was ranked 6th during that period. wisconsin's was 14th. I'm not sure there is a huge difference between a 58th ranked unit, and an 85th ranked unit. defensively we match up pretty similar. like most games the Huskers play - it will come down to whether or not we can overcome the inevitable 2-3 turnovers. this is a 3 point game for that reason. otherwise Nebraska should be way out in front.

I completly agree, turnovers has to be our main focus. With Baker out we can't afford to turn the ball over & keep our defense on the field for long periods of time. Quote Link to comment
