Good. The secondary needs the work.

 

Didn't Southern Miss actually beat us or something early in the last decade? What happened to that program?

 

1-3 would make this a pretty disastrous start. Let's take care of business this week, Huskers. Overlook nobody.

2004. Joe Dailey ran out of bounds.

 

I remember that, too. I think that was on fourth down with probably under a minute to go or something like that.

NUMBERS TO KNOW!!

 

Numbers rarely tell the whole story but they are frequently interesting. Here are a few to consider ahead of Saturday’s Nebraska-Southern Miss game.

57.83% — The percentage of yards allowed by Nebraska in three games on “chunk plays” (rushes of 10-plus yards, passes of 15-plus yards). The Huskers have given up 783 of their total 1,354 yards allowed this season on 12.96 percent (28) of their total plays.

By way of comparison, Nebraska has 53 chunk plays (23.04% of total plays) on offense and has gained 972 yards on them (66.21% of total yards ).

5th – Southern Miss’s national rank in passing plays of 30-plus yards. The Golden Eagles have nine gains of at least 30 yards through the air. Southern Miss junior quarterback Nick Mullens completed 68.2 percent of his passes in the opener against Mississippi State, throwing for 311 yards. In a win last week against Texas State, Mullens completed more than 70 percent of his throws for 333 yards and four touchdowns.

126th – Nebraska’s national rank in passing plays of 30-plus yards allowed. The Huskers have given up 11 gains of at least 30 yards through the air. Overall, Nebraska is allowing 357 passing yards per game (126th nationally), 7.42 sack-adjusted yards per attempt (93rd) and a 59.4 completion percentage (73rd).

2.33 – Sacks per game for Southern Miss this season, ranking 33rd nationally. Junior defensive end Dylan Bradley is the one to watch. He leads the Eagles with three sacks this season and also has three tackles for loss (not including the sacks). The Huskers are allowing 1.67 sacks per game, which ranks 63rd.

77.7 – Receiving yards per game for Jordan Westerkamp (233 yards, 15 receptions). If he stays on that current pace and the Huskers play 13 games, he’ll break the school record (Johnny Rodgers, 942) and become Nebraska’s first 1,000-yard receiver. Brandon Reilly (74.7 ypg) is also on pace to break the school record if Nebraska plays 13 games. The Huskers have had a receiver average 70-plus yards for a season just once in the past eight season (Nate Swift, 2008).

28.57% — Percentage of the time Nebraska is allowing a touchdown on red zone trips. That ranks 7th nationally. The Huskers have, however, allowed their opponents to reach the red zone 14 times through three games, 109th nationally, and are allowing a score (touchdown or field goal) 85.71 percent of the time, 81st nationally.

84.62% — Percentage of the time Nebraska is scoring a touchdown on red zone trips. That also ranks 7th nationally. Eleven of the Huskers’ 14 touchdowns have come in the red zone. Overall, Nebraska has scored on 92.31 percent of its trips inside the 20, 27th nationally.

6.31 — Yards per play allowed by Nebraska on first down this season. That’s 11.5 percent worse than the national average (5.66) and ranks 93rd nationally.

1 — Fumbles lost by Nebraska so far this season. The Huskers finished 108th nationally in this category in 2014, 122nd in 2013 and 124th in 2012.

Spread offense. Going to test the secondary again. QB has a pretty nice release.

 

Rugby style punter, I think. He kicked one low line drive against Miss St that the guy muffed and So Miss recovered.

 

Didn't see much of the defense in those highlights.

 

Trick plays. Onside kicks. Our guys will have to be on their toes.

Against TX St, they ran the ball 46 times vs 27 pass attempts

 

Against Austin Peay, they ran the ball 36 times vs 44 pass attempts

 

Against Miss St, they ran the ball 30 times vs 40 pass attempts

 

Gave up 1 sack vs TX St, 3 vs Miss St, and 0 vs Austin Peay. Their O-line looks pretty decent.
