Savage Husker Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Completion % Turnover % Total Yards Total TDs Rushing Yards Higher completion %, leads to less turnovers. Less turnovers, more yards. More yards, more TDs. TDs are the name of the game. More total yards, the rushing yards will naturally increase. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Trick question. Yards per pass is the correct answer. Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Trick question. Yards per pass is the correct answer. I think you mean yards per completion. To Nebraska players. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I would say staying healthy might be the top priority. If nobody is pushing him for starting time, we are going to need him for a full season. Quote Link to comment
Hammerhead Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Remember last year when tons of people kept spouting, "Completion percentage doesn't matter!!" Which people? I don't remember seeing much of that. Certainly none of that came from me. I'm going to agree with a lot of people here and say that completion % and turnover % are the two most important, with total TDs being somewhat of a distant third. The rest aren't much of a concern, because I think we have a potent enough ground game that we don't have to do everything through the air. Armstrong doesn't have to put up huge numbers through the air for us to win, he just has to do well enough to keep us from being one-dimensional. Quote Link to comment
Treand3 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Turnovers and completion percentage. Should be improved with better line play and playcalling. Imho Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Trick question. Yards per pass is the correct answer. I agree that yards per attempt kind of balances out completion percentage but not totally. If I complete a 40 yard pass then miss my next four, I average 8.0 yards per attempt which is pretty good but I haven't helped the offense score a lot of points (necessarily). We've probably still punted two or three times. Quote Link to comment
alexhortdog95 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 How about the one thing that matters more than percentages, ypc, ints, etc....? WINS. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 How about the one thing that matters more than percentages, ypc, ints, etc....? WINS. Yea, none of that other stuff really matters or even effects the outcome of the games really. Just win. Good take on that. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 How about the one thing that matters more than percentages, ypc, ints, etc....? WINS. There are other things that go into wins that are totally out of the QBs control though such as letting one guy run for 500 yards on you. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thought this was an interesting question: Completion % - Leads to lower TO rate. Turnover Rate - Leads to more yards. Yards - Generally leads to more TD's Total TD's Rushing Threat - I changed it from TD's to threat because my belief is having a QB that threatens the defense with his legs then leads us back to the top of the list and we start the cycle over again. Remember last year when tons of people kept spouting, "Completion percentage doesn't matter!!" No. But for the record, depending on the offense. Comp % doesn't mean AS much. It's important but it doesn't mean as much. You always want to be 100 percent but really you just want to look for a percentage that keeps that certain offense effective. Quote Link to comment
DomiNUs Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Rushing numbers Turnover % Comp percentage Total Yards Total TDs Because his strong suit is running instead of passing, I think TA is probably doing his best when his rushing numbers are good. Turnovers either through INT's or fumbles are killer. I think those two are tied for the top spot. Quote Link to comment
