NCAA has them listed as 7th...but not that that makes a hell of a lot of difference. And if it's any consolation, they're ranked 48th in Scoring Offense. But that's not much of a consolation either
Arkansas State is #4 in total offense with 575 yards/game

Well we either learned from last night or we didn't hopefully they were tackling each other as soon as the plane touched down
but in reality only two games in why worry about tackling its not crucial and you fans know nothing about the complexities of this D so eff U

We are so fundamentally flawed that I don't see how we turn things completely around by this game. Not against a high powered offense like this with the way our D is playing. We should win becuase their defense is poor and our offense is good despite our second half performance last week. It is at home and we play much better there as of late. I just hope we shack things up on defense. Get some new guys out there.

Ark St is 15th in Rushing Offense. Nebraska is 16th
Ark St is 16th in Passing Offense. Nebraska is 48th
Ark St is 101st in Rushing Defense. Nebraska is 115th :facepalm:
Ark St is 71st in Passing Defense. Nebraska is 45th
Ark St is 48th in Scoring Offense. Nebraska is 25th.
Scoring Defense stats were unavailable on the NCAA site. But this is not going to be a cakewalk in Memorial. This Ark St, based on these stats, is not that bad. They lost to Oregon, 57-34 and beat Memphis, 33-28.

Thanks for the stats. I still think we win at home, but yes it could go either way.

I'm hoping these stats, theirs particularly, are extremely over inflated since it's so early in the season.

Every game is no longer "given" but I hope we win

I feel like we're going to end up having to Ball State with them. I think it's appropriate to concede to being wrong about my pre-season prediction. This feels like 2007 part II with the defense so far.

I know last year the problem was with stopping mobile QB's; Wilson, Robinson, Colter and Shaw.
Do you feel like the Huskers are any better at containing scramblers this year than last?
I watched the UCLA game but not as closely as you guys probably did. Hundley seemed mobile but looking at the stat line he didn't kill you guys on the ground. Is that true? Was it just the threat that he could that hurt you guys?
I ask because ASU's QB, Ryan Aplin, seems to be a decent rusher. Around 1300 yards and 26 TD's in his career as a runner. That could be something to look at.
Not sure if it'll be an issue, the problem seems to be just tackling in general. Anyhow I think the Huskers will beat the Wolves pretty handily and work out some of their frustrations. All will be well on HB this time next week.

The problem with Hundley was that he got away at key times. He kept drives alive. It wasn't necessarily that he torched the D running, but he broke free at key times.Question here... I know last year the problem was with stopping mobile QB's; Wilson, Robinson, Colter and Shaw.
