Record Breaker

OH!!! I remember.... Taylor set a new record and played a premier role in the Huskers win against ISU. Great job Zac! :thumbs

By the way, a QB ALMOST throwing and INT happens in just about every football game I have ever seen; but in fact, he didn't. Its nice that after a win like this and such a great game for NU, we can all concentrate on the positives (which there were so many) and leave the knitpicking by the wayside; if only for a little bit.

:cheers Cheers to NU football, Zac Taylor, and to a half-full glass.

This is from rojo on another thread:

The difference between Zac Taylor & Joe Dailey through four games...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last year at this time Joe Dailey was four games removed from option football. Today Zac Taylor is four games removed from Jayhawk Conference Juco ball.

I. There are some Dailey/Taylor similarities through four games:

1) Pass Completion Percentage:

--Dailey: 50% (64 of 128)

--Taylor: 52% (75 of 144)

2) Pass Efficiency Rating:

--Dailey: 102

--Taylor: 103

.

II. But there’s one huge difference: Turnovers (through four games)

--Dailey: 1 Interception every 11.6 passes.

--Taylor: 1 Interception every 48.0 passes.

.

III. Joe didn’t improve much as the year went on. Zac….?

--Joe finished with 1 Interception every 16 passes---a national leader for that dubious stat. His completion rate ended at 49% with a Pass Efficiency Rating of 110.

--Zac: One game doesn’t make a season. But Taylor and the Husker offense may turned a corner against Iowa State. His stats from the ISU game:

1) Zac's Percentage of completions: 65%

2) Zac's Pass Efficiency Rating: 143

Big 12 QB’s Pass Efficiency ranked like this for the weekend’s games:

1. Young, UT: 179

2. Taylor, NU: 143

3. Webb, KSU: 132

4. Meyer, ISU: 124

5. Hodges, TT: 122

6. Klatt, CU: 115

7. Bomar, OU: 114

8. Bell, BU: 104

9. Smith, MU: 87

10 Luke, KU: 79

11 Reid, OSU: 68

12 McNeal, TAM: 62.

3) Taylor has not thrown an Interception in his last 90 passes.

.

Zac’s a coach’s son. After four games, it may be showing. And everything may be slowing down for him. We’ll keep watching.

Just some things to think about….

The most important stat to me this this: 0 interceptions on 55 passes.
2 games in a row with no interceptions. Zac Taylor is showing why he is leading this offense. Zac is showing improvement, whereas Dailey threw interception after interception and never learned the concept "throw the ball out of bounds, not into the opponents hands"

This is the difference between a Callahan recruit and a Solich recruit.

:yeah :thumbs

Taylor has not thrown an Interception in his last 90 passes

Actually the last interception he threw was 77 passes ago against Wake Forest late in the 3rd qtr

That boy looks downright psychopathic when he throws.
