Hey everyone, first post here.
I hope I didn't mess this up but I calculated how often each team loses when giving up 200 yards rushing from 2008-2012. Nebraska came in tied at 43rd with Mich St at 71.4% of those games being losses.
I really need to go to bed but I can post the entire list of teams and their percentages tomorrow if anyone is interested..

I hope Bo's will be a simplified schemes. And excessive communications between lengthy encoding signal (Pap) and then decipher code to all eleven players. Especially quick offense attack.
BTW, what's the story behind big and weird placard on sideline? Please explain.
Some teams used it.

Hey, welcome to HuskerBoard!
Thanks for taking the time to run these numbers. I'd be interested in seeing the rest of the list.

I was thinking, just intuition wise, that any team that gives up 200 yds rushing is statistically apt to lose, but would like to see the numbers too. Kudos for your work sir!

I did some digging on this and found some interesting statistical evidence related to Bo Pelini's career record at Nebraska.
When the clock hit's zero at the end of the 4th quarter and Nebraska has more points than their opponent, Bo Pelini wins games.
But here's the astounding statistic, I just couldn't believe it! When the clock hits zero's at the end of the fourth quarter and Nebraska has less points than the opponent, Bo Pelini loses.
Now I know this is a complicated concept and I'm still working on this a bit to scientifically test this theory, but it appears to be the case throughout college football!

LOL @ Rainman
The data I got from www.cfbstats.com. I downloaded it all and put in into a database, and from there its just a few SQL statements and a little bit of code. I'm teaching myself programming and databases right now and I've been messing around with all this cfb data a lot recently so it wasn't too much work for me at this point. I was a few beers deep but I don't think I made any errors.
Here's the complete list of teams. Again, these are games in which the team gave up over 200 yards rushing:
