Bo usually loses when his defense gives up more than 200 yds rushing.

[Hunter94]

Southern Miss and UCLA will be 2 completely different games....this could be another "lab experiment" for Bo's defense?

[Ulty]

So he loses when they give up 200+ yards and they usually win when they rush for 200+ so what are we trying to say here?

They just need to execute. Don't point the finger, point the thumb.

[The Dude]

Just from reading the title of this post, are there really a lot of teams that will win if they give up 200 yds rushing??

I suspect not.

[Ulty]

I just heard that Bo has lost EVERY game in which the opponent has outscored the Huskers. He's like 0-20 in those games. Can someone confirm this?

John Madden? Is that you?

Hey everyone, first post here.

 

I hope I didn't mess this up but I calculated how often each team loses when giving up 200 yards rushing from 2008-2012. Nebraska came in tied at 43rd with Mich St at 71.4% of those games being losses.

 

I really need to go to bed but I can post the entire list of teams and their percentages tomorrow if anyone is interested..

[Hooked on Huskers]

I hope Bo's will be a simplified schemes. And excessive communications between lengthy encoding signal (Pap) and then decipher code to all eleven players. Especially quick offense attack.

 

BTW, what's the story behind big and weird placard on sideline? Please explain. Some teams used it.

 

[funhusker]

Curious if anyone is interested enough to pull up ypc and yards for all of Bo's losses. Put some numbers to the claims.

 

I'm still compiling data. So this isn't finished.

 

 

2009

Iowa St - 2.9 ypc 137 rush yds 102 pass yds

Tex Tech - 1.0 ypc 25 rush yds 234 pass yds

V Tech - 2.3 ypc 86 rush yds 192 pass yds

Texas - 0.5 ypc 18 rush yds 184 pass yds

 

 

Thanks for the reminder.....

 

 

+1 for everything else though.

Hey, welcome to HuskerBoard!

 

Thanks for taking the time to run these numbers. I'd be interested in seeing the rest of the list.

I was thinking, just intuition wise, that any team that gives up 200 yds rushing is statistically apt to lose, but would like to see the numbers too. Kudos for your work sir!

Wow, that is an impressive amount of data. How did you do it?

I did some digging on this and found some interesting statistical evidence related to Bo Pelini's career record at Nebraska.

 

When the clock hit's zero at the end of the 4th quarter and Nebraska has more points than their opponent, Bo Pelini wins games.

 

But here's the astounding statistic, I just couldn't believe it! When the clock hits zero's at the end of the fourth quarter and Nebraska has less points than the opponent, Bo Pelini loses.

 

Now I know this is a complicated concept and I'm still working on this a bit to scientifically test this theory, but it appears to be the case throughout college football!

LOL @ Rainman

 

The data I got from www.cfbstats.com. I downloaded it all and put in into a database, and from there its just a few SQL statements and a little bit of code. I'm teaching myself programming and databases right now and I've been messing around with all this cfb data a lot recently so it wasn't too much work for me at this point. I was a few beers deep but I don't think I made any errors.

 

Here's the complete list of teams. Again, these are games in which the team gave up over 200 yards rushing:
