Crick vs. the All-Time Nebraska Sack Record

[knapplc]

Jared Crick is currently in seventh place in Husker history with 19 career sacks. He would need 10.5 sacks to break Trev Alberts' career record of 29.5. The question - can he do it?

Nebraska will almost certainly play 13 games this year, and if they make the CCG they'll play 14 games. That means Crick needs to have less than one sack per game to break the record - but he's also competing with the rest of the D Line, LBs and Corners for those sacks.

Last year our opponents gave up these sacks:

Opponent	GM	Sack	AVG
Chattanooga	11 	15 	1.4 
Fresno State	13	36	2.8
Washington	13	24	1.8
Wyoming	        12	31	2.6
Wisconsin	13	14	1.1
Ohio State	13	22	1.7
Minnesota	12	17	1.4
Michigan State	13	24	1.8
Northwestern	13	40	3.1
Penn State	13	11	0.8
Michigan	13	11	0.8
Iowa	        13	20	1.5

The NCAA doesn't have stats for Tenn-Chatt, at least not that I found.

EDIT! +1 to Got Carl? for finding the Tenn-Chatt numbers for me.

I didn't realize he was that close. I think with all the hype he's gotten, teams will definitely be looking to double team him, cutting down on his sack numbers. I voted for "Will not break the record" and "8 sacks." Despite the double teams, I could see him getting 8 sacks, he's a good enough player to put up that number.

10+

Breaks it in the CCG.

10+

Breaks Trev's record in the Big House. Put it on the board!

I choose the Iowa game I think he will get some sacks early in the year to get him started. Then during the minneosta and Michigan st these two games he with have a good game. Minne due to there perceived bad o line and Michigan State with a non mobile qb in Cousins Bo will send the hounds to get the pressure on him. Then I picked the Iowa game due to being late in the season and I would to see Crick throw the bones after he breaks the record while stepping over the iowa qb(have the hate Iowa bias in my opinion live in CB)! GBR

If we had stayed in the Big12...yes. In the B1G, no. He might get a few if we play that 3-4...but I think we'll be stuffing the run a little more than sacking QBs. He'll have a boatload of TFLs though.

A guy like Cousins in a more pass-happy system only throws 320+- times a season. Persa 300+-.

Gabbert attempted 475+- Landry something like 600. Crick had probably (and I didn't research this entirely) 20% more chances to sack the QB during a game in the Big12.

Knapp:

Would it be a hassle to post the top 7 --- so we can see who is between Trev and Crick?

 

[GSG]

1. Trev Alberts, OLB, 1990-93 29.5

2. Grant Wistrom, RE, 1994-97 26.5

3. Jim Skow, RT, 1983-85 26

4. Ndamukong Suh, DT, 2005-09 24

Danny Noonan, MG, 1984-86 24

6. Broderick Thomas, OLB, 1985-88 22.5

7. Adam Carriker, DE, 2003-06 20.5

8. Jared Crick, DT, 2008-present 19

9. Barry Turner, DE, 2005-09 17

10. Travis Hill, OLB, 1989-92 16.5

Unless he has another Baylor 2009 performance where he had something like 5 sacks, he won't get it. His opportunities for sacks go down in the B1G conference compared to what he had in the Big XII.

 

[HuskerInLostWages]

Looking at Suh's numbers, could you imagine if he had all 4 years under Coach Pelini? Man I wish we'd have hired him a little bit sooner.

 

[bball_backer]

5 sacks against Baylor (is there a better team to get sacks against when RG3 is out?) really pads Crick's stats. Plus that was with Suh beside him.

 

[Pedro Guerrero]

So someone has him at more then ten but not breaking the record? Interesting.

I don’t think he breaks the record and I think he ends up one spot in front of Suh.

 

[redout22]

Weird that Chattanooga only played 11 last year.. I think he has a great shot at number 2 but to beat Trev's record he really needs to have a great year. IMO the NW game this year, could be like that Baylor game in which he got 5.

At Iowa.
