KSU tough defense

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I'm not going to say that the Huskers just walk away with this one because you never know what could happen. We haven't won in Manhattan for 10 years so I'm a little worried about this game...........the only thing I know for sure that will happen is Freeman will be picking his a$$ off the ground a few times during this game.........hopefully on one of those he doesn't get up!!!!! Sorry I have to say it.........

Here's their defensive breakdown game by game. The stats are of the opponent:

Illinois State they won a squeeker 24-23

rush 34 att for 96 yds

pass 24-38-1-253

346 yds total

Florida Atlantic (one of the worst teams in football) they won 45-0

rush 42 att for 59 yds

pass 12-25-1-141

200 yds total

Marshall they won 23-7

rush 22 att for 50 yds

pass 16-28-2-92

142 yds total

Louisville they LOST 24-6

rush 42 att for 228 yds

pass 18-26-1-173

401 yds total

Baylor they LOST 17-3

rush 21 att for 45 yds

pass 22-55-3-296

341 yds total

Oklahoma State they won 31-27

rush 41 att for 193 yds

pass 14-22-1-138

331 yds total

Looks to me, other than OSU and Louisvill, that the pass is where it is at. Let Zack take 'em deep a few times to open up the run and keep it balanced.

If we play like we did against ISU, we will win decisively.

If we play like we did against KU, I'll be holding my breath.

We need to establish some consistancy with road games against Big 12 teams. Accepting FBWillie's analysis of the KSU defense, we should attach the passing lanes, which should create our running game. Will be interesting to see how BC attacks the Wildcats.
