Baylor game predictions

I had the chance to watch the whole Baylor-ISU game here in KC and wasn't very impressed. Their back is big and slow so if we get in the backfield quick then he is going no where. Their quarterback is not mobile at all so our pass rush should be able to contain him. I really think we can create some turnovers and possibly have a defensive score. On offense, I think we will continue to have success as long as we take care of the ball. Call me crazy but I believe Marlon Lucky will get his first career touchdown this weekend.

Nebraska 24

Baylor 10

Our Offense's turnaround: Another bit of evidence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last two games our offense finally “got it.” The green “Got Frank?” T-shirts have faded. Players are getting confidence. Fans are getting excited.

Here’s why:

Scoring touchdowns when in the red zone:

I. Games 1-3 vrs Maine, Wake & Pitt: Pathetic.

--vrs. Maine: 1 TD in 6 trips inside the 20

--vrs. Wake Forest: 1 TD in 3 trips inside the 20

--vrs. Pitt: 1 TD in 3 trips inside the 20

That’s 29%---3 TD’s in 11 red zone trips.

.

II. Games 4 & 5 vrs Iowa State & Texas Tech.: Respectable.

--vrs. Iowa State: 2 TD’s in 6 trips (including two "Overtime" TD's)

--vrs. Texas Tech: 4 TD’s in 5 trips.

That’s 55%---6 TD’s in 11 trips inside the 20.

.

III. How does that 55% compare with other Big 12 teams?

Looking at TD’s scored (not FG’s) when in the red zone, that 55% fits into Big 12 season rankings (5 games) like this:

Big 12 Offenses: Scoring TD’s when in the Red Zone:

1. Texas Tech: 81% (26 TD’s in 32 trips inside the 20.)

2. Missouri: 79% (19/24)

3. Texas: 67% (16/24 trips)

4. Kansas State: 63% (10/16)

5. Kansas: 62% (13/21)

6. Oklahoma: 56% (10/18)

7-8. Texas A&M: 55% (11/20)

7-8. Nebraska: 55% (6 TD's in 11 trips---last 2 games only)

9. Colorado: 53% (10/19)

10. Iowa State: 46% (12/26)

11. Oklahoma State: 41% (7/17)

12. Baylor: 35% (9/26)

.

Can our offense keep it up? Get even better? Success in two games in-a-row doesn’t quite make a trend. And now we’ve got a bunch of gimpy receivers….

Baylor’s defense has been stingy in the red zone---giving opponents only 8 TD’s in 16 trips (50%).

We’ll get it settled Saturday night.

Just some things to think about

C'mon, you cant just pick out the two best games and compare them to ALL games played by the other team :wacko:

While I like NCAA's OT, IMO, any stats from OT should not be counted either for the O or the D.

Yes, the offense has shown improvment over the last 2 games, but lets at least make the argument reasonable.....

The point of the stats was to show that there is indeed a positive trend this season from the first 3 games to the last 2 contests. Using only the last 2 games in comparison to the other schools total games played is merely to show a trend with the Huskers. If we averaged all of the 5 games for the Huskers, the data would not reveal the changes taking place. It is simply for reflection purposes. Obviously, at the end of the season we can average every team for all games and reach some conclusions on the comparative data.

Or to put it another way, are the Huskers improving significantly? It appears that they certainly are.

 
Not to mention that our last two games were against the toughest opponets. I think that what rojo was trying to point out is that the first two game were an abberation (hopefully), and should not be a true indicator of this year's offense for the upcoming games.

 
If our offense from last year hung half a hundred anything is possible this year right?? I don't believe they could have improved that much from last year. Our O has only gotten better and for some reason i picture Nunn returning a punt for a TD in this one. I see no reason to believe that this game will even be close. I"m going to predict a huge blow out pretty much because it makes me sick that some people think Baylor has a chance. We're still Nebraska and they're still Baylor.

Huskers roll

55-3
