NU TT LINE NEB -10.5

[shyndy]

I have a hard time believing their O will be more lethal than it was last year, and our D is alot better than it was at that point. I think their D has some definite weaknesses, and well be able to put up some points. If not we have some real problems on O.

I'm looking for suh to get several pass breakups in this one with short over the middle drop offs.

Texas Tech currently has the #1 Offense in the country.

If we shut them down this will be huge for the publicity our program, most notably the defense, will get throughout the rest of the season.

Texas Tech currently has the #1 Offense in the country.

Is that based on an average of the major indicators? They're second in most categories, but averaged they probably lead the nation.

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

Texas Tech currently has the #1 Offense in the country.

Houston is currently #1 in Total Offense. TTU is #2. And if you look at who they've played, it's not that hard to see why. Aside from UT (#4 in Total Defense and #16 in Scoring Defense), everyone else is in the lower half.

K-State #53 (#66 in Scoring Defense)

Houston #111 (#98 in Scoring Defense)

Rice #115 (#120 in Scoring Defense)

North Dakota (FCS Team--no ranking could be found)

Whereas NU is currently:

#13 in Total Defense (#3 in Big 12)

#14 in Pass Defense (#1 in Big 12)

#3 in Pass Efficiency Defense (#1 in Big 12)

#33 in Rushing Defense (#5 in Big 12)

#2 in Scoring Defense (#3 in Big 12)

T-34 in Sacks

T-51 for Tackles for Loss

Think you may have a typo there lol We're #2 nationally, #1 in the big 12. Its kind of impossible for us to be 3rd in the big 12 but 2 nationally in scoring d :lol:

You are correct!! I fat-fingered that one :facepalm:

Wow, that is a lot of steam in 2 days. I would guess that is will settle back around 10.

I was going by these statistics, and didn't look close enough to see that Houston has played less games. My bad. Texas Tech is still pretty high up in just about every offensive category though... Minus rushing.

 

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

I was using the NCAA's website. It'll break it down by team and conference even.

On the flip side, its not like NU has been playing stellar Offenses:

FAU - 56

Ark St - 84

VT - 54

ULaLa - 99

MU - 38

And don't give me the reason they are ranked low is b/c they already played NU. That also works the other way around.

Average Offensive Ranking of NU opponents thus far: 66th

Average Defensive Ranking of DIV 1 TT opponents thus far: 71st

---Not sure how to factor in the 1AA team, but they are 117th worst in DIV 1AA so if you just add that number in the average D ranking of TT opponents falls to 80th

When isn't the Air Raiders tops nationally in Offense... <_< See kids offense wins champ... oh wait... nevermind

Total Offense simply measures yardage, not effectiveness. For that you need to look at Scoring Offense, or, how many points you produce per game. Here's our opponent ranks in that category:

FAU 110

Ark St 48

VT 20

ULaLa 105

MU 31

Instead of an average of 66.2 (Total Offense), our opponents have an average of 62.8 (Scoring Offense).

See? That's way better.
