Interesting Stat

[gamecocks]

ESPN just showed that Nebraska is 11-1 against teams from the SEC in bowl games. I had no idea that we had that good of a record against their conference. Heres to hoping that we improve on that record to start the 2007 year. :restore

That's a great record. I had no idea we had that much success against SEC teams in bowl games. I really don't think they will have much luck stopping our running game.

and we won't have much luck stopping their passing game.

I certainly hope we can stop their passing offense. It's currently rated 87th in the country. With only 13 TD's in the air and 10 interceptions.

Also the tigers only have one receiver ranked in the National Receptions Per Game category.

His name is Taylor Courtney and he is tied for last at 4 receptions per game.

In the Total Receiving Yards Per Game the tigers only have one player listed in the national rankings as well. Also Courtney, who is ranked last in the rankings with 53 yards per game.

This really is a good match up for us. I really don't think they have the horses to compete with us.

Yea but what's their QB's completion percentage?? I think we proved saturday that if you can be accuate, you can burn us.

I think if a team has an accurate QB and the receivers to support him our secondary can be burned. Auburn doesn't have the receivers.

 

[DeathCultArmaggedon]

They may not have the most skilled receivers, but in all honesty, if our pass rush is stagnating, it doesn't take a whole lot more to beat our defensive backfield.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I'm glad that we are pulling Auburn for this game because I was going to be fairly nervous if we played Arkansas...........not taking anything away from Auburn and I believe they are ranked higher just a general statement...............good to see we have that good of record against SEC teams!!!!

We sure have a way of making medium talent look like all-americans though. :madash

 

[strigori]

In all fairness to OU, Malcome Kelley is one hell of a reciever. He did things like that to more teams than just us.

Brandon Cox's numbers. 153/250 2087 yards. 61.2 Completion % 13 TD 9 Int.

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

And those numbers are a tad misleading as well. He's been battling a disease/disorder his entire life and was injured late in the season. I think had he stayed healthy he'd have some very good numbers. This extra time off could find us having to try and stop one helluva QB.

 

[DaveH]

Stats like this are so out of whack it's not even funny. What does that even mean?

Great we beat some SEC team in 1950 forty billion to nothing. What does it mean today? Probably nothing.

 

[Huskerfan55]

We are definitely better off with Auburn verse playing AR. It would have been a track meet against AR and we would have lost big much like OKSU!!!!!

 

[BRS]

Before we go chalking up a W in this game and saying how luky we are to play one team over the other, let's not forget that this ONE team beat the current #2 and #4 teams in the nation.
