NU vs. MD by the numbers

Just like every week, I'm only considering stats from conference games.  The numbers are percentile rankings (such that 100 is the best rating you can get and 0 the worst).  No adjustment has been made to reflect strength of schedule differences.

Should win, but they could have a big day running the ball if they want to.

What are you talking about? We held Jonathon Taylor to barely over 200 yards!

They showed a stat during the broadcast Saturday that said Taylor tied an NCAA record with 11 200 yard games.  He has 3 against Nebraska in 3 games.

He should at least buy our defense a beer.

 

[Husker in WI]

He should at least buy our defense a beer.

He cannot legally do so until January - that must be why he hasn't.

We should be able to pass all over these guys on Saturday based on this, but holy cow we are ineffective at throwing passing TDs.

Well until Saturday we hadn't have one since I believe the Illinois game.

I think I heard that too now that I think about it. Man we need to get that fixed.

We have had a few guys wide open that we have missed but in general we haven't thrown over the top a lot.  I believe that's a combination of poor pass protection, at times, limiting time in the pocket to throw and having limited receiver speed in general.

They say the camera adds 150 yards

How many cameras are on him?

Martinez hadn’t had one since the Illinois game.  McCaffrey had one against Indiana.

Speaking of McCaffrey he has two games left to play in. With his athleticism I'd like to see us find ways to use him.
