LJSTelling Number, Part II: 29.5. That's the percentage of Nebraska's offense that came from two plays -- the 55-yard run by Andy Janovich and the 41-yard catch by Alonzo Moore.
Why, if Wisconsin won the toss and deferred, did Nebraska NOT have the wind in the fourth quarter of the game?
In the 3rd quarter Nebraska had the wind at their backs, and had 17 offensive plays, 13 of which happened in Wisconsin territory, for a grand total of 41 yards and 0 points."What we missed today was sustaining much offense for any period of time especially when we had some momentum, had the wind in the third quarter, which I was hoping we would capitalize on."
OWHThe Badgers’ leading rusher is a converted walk-on defensive back. The tailback who scored a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter is a true freshman who played linebacker until about a month ago.
The offensive line, because of injury, started its fourth new group in six games. The defense has its share of nicks and knocks, too.
