Mavric Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Where did I say I didn't want to get better? So, you are saying their are other issues that kept the game close which made the penalties hurt more. Agree. Fix those other issues. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Pretty good article from the OWH on penalties. Presents both sides pretty fairly but he's an illustration of what I was talking about: A chop block erased a bulldozing catch by Cethan Carter and a legitimate scoring chance against Northwestern. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty sealed the Wildcats’ win that day, too. There was that defensive holding call in the Michigan State game, which wiped away a sack that would have put the Spartans in third-and-13. MSU ended up scoring a touchdown on the drive. Two false starts stalled a drive against Iowa. Nebraska later nullified a fumble recovery because of a hands-to-the-face flag. There was also a late hit on a punt return that set the Hawkeyes up at the NU 33-yard line. An offsides infraction on a UCLA point-after try — NU got flagged for four of those this year and had three more declined — gave the Bruins a do-over after their kicker misfired. That flag cost the Huskers a point. That hurts. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Nyatawa also has way too much time on his hands ... he listed all Husker penalties by player: Penalties committed by Nebraska in 2015 (sorted by player) Freedom Akinmoladun (1): Offsides Tommy Armstrong (2): 2 intentional groundings Maliek Collins (6): 4 offsides, roughing the passer, unsportsmanlike conduct Byerson Cockrell (4): 3 defensive PIs, unnecessary roughness Daniel Davie (3): 2 defensive PIs, offsides Ross Dzuris (1): face mask Tyrin Ferguson (2): illegal block, offsides Sam Foltz (1): late hit Trey Foster (1): illegal block Jack Gangwish (1): offsides Nick Gates (4.5): 2 holdings, false start, illegal formation, chop block Nate Gerry (3): 2 targeting, defensive holding Lane Hovey (1.5): false start, chop block Andy Janovich (2): false start, running into the kicker Chris Jones (2): 2 defensive PIs Harrison Jordan (1): holding Joshua Kalu (6): 3 defensive PIs, illegal block, offsides, unsportsmanlike conduct David Knevel (1): false start Chongo Kondolo (2): false start, holding Alex Lewis (8): 4 false starts, holding, ineligible downfield, hands to the face, unsportsmanlike conduct Kevin Maurice (3): face mask, hands to the face, offsides Alonzo Moore (1): holding Stanley Morgan (2): false start, offensive PI Marcus Newby (1): defensive holding Terrell Newby (1.5): holding, chop block Graham Nabity (1): unsportsmanlike conduct Antonio Reed (3): holding, late hit, unsportsmanlike conduct Ryne Reeves (2): holding, illegal snap Brandon Reilly (1): false start Zach Sterup (1): chop block Mick Stoltenberg (1): false start Jamal Turner (1): illegal block Aaron Williams (2): hands to the face, unsportsmanlike conduct Kevin Williams (1): hands to the face Dylan Utter (3.5): false start, 2 holdings, chop block *** Offense (6): 2 illegal formations, 3 illegal substitutions, illegal shift Offensive line (3): 3 false starts Punt team (1): delay of game Kickoff team (2): Illegal formation, offsides PAT team (2): Roughing the snapper, equipment failure Sideline (1): Sideline interference Mike Riley (1): Unsportsmanlike conduct Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Where did I say I didn't want to get better? So, you are saying their are other issues that kept the game close which made the penalties hurt more. Agree. Fix those other issues. FYI..... Sorry if I wasn't clear. My point is, once again...there are areas that would pay bigger dividends to concentrate on. No, you don't ignore penalties. But, to me, it's not a grave concern that we should be wringing our hands over. If you fix some other issues, those games aren't in those close situations where the penalties make a big difference. Every team makes penalties. It's just that if everything else is going well for the team and they are ahead by 21, the penalty doesn't mean much. Quote Link to comment
olddominionhusker Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 It such a hard thing to measure the impact of because of the variables discussed above. When you just simply look does the most penalized team lose more, then most of the analysis I've seen says no at least at the college level. NFL is more unclear, I've seen conflicting analysis. Turnovers on the other hand are much more clear in their impact. Obviously you want both cleaned up but if you had to pick, turnovers would certainly be the obvious choice. Quote Link to comment

He was good for almost a penalty a game in 14'. He was just about as bad in 15'. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I thought the flags were really cleaned up as the year went on. Quote Link to comment
I AM FOOT FOOT Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Rileys UC flag was epic, it was probably the nicest any one has ever chewed out a ref and got flagged. Quote Link to comment
