Stats favor us on offense and defense except for the “rushing TD’s allowed” number.
The “stats” say IU wins, but … is THAT “the full story”?
- Thread starter MyTeamIsOnTheFloor
- Start date
Well, that was supposed to be a poll, but the “we hate user-friendly software” IT people lied to me
I think IU's performance in the games so far are the most telling point of how they will perform.
My answer would have been:
You can throw The Stats and the Rankings out of the equation for this one... It's The Key Game of the year for both Teams, a game that can keep us solidly (and legitimately) in First Place in the Big Ten and one that can put Nebraska back in the hunt for both the Big Ten Championship game and the CFP...
A "Must Win" for both Teams...
It's starting to look like a Husker could be in for an ugly Bison trampling, toss, and goring...
One constant stands out... Whoever underestimates the speed and fierceness of a Bison on the attack does so at their own peril...

To me, there are 2 factors.
On defense, Raiola is good vs zone D and IU's D is primarily zone.
On offense, Nebraska is really good at getting after the QB and IU is really good at punishing teams that are throwing blitz schemes at them. Most of the time teams back off of that plan because Rorke is getting the ball out right away and making it easy on our offense. Can we continue to do that successfully against the Huskers? That will tell us a lot.

Bostad’s OL seems to step-up to every challenge this year. I think the’ll manage well enough. I think we’ll see some new RPO’s to keep the ‘Black Shirts’ off-balance.
Will front four pressure be enough? … to get a TO?
DBs playing zone need to move (match up) to the receiver in their zone, to make plays on the ball.

Nebraska doesn't blitz very often. They get home with base rush.
Oh ok. Then disregard what I said previously, IU by 24.
Your name is maddeningly stupid. I guess Scott Frost was either taken or prohibited and it never occurred to you that people would call you Scrote Frost once they saw that spelling?
And also, you kept it even after he got fired? And you wanted to remind us of how he complained about not getting to play Indiana enough and then we went to Lincoln and beat him?
Nebraska will get home rushing 3 or 4? Oh OK. I guess we will see.
Well, good news...the base rush and every other husker player and fan got home early. Fans were all on the way home by the end of the third quarter.

If today's game had been remotely close, we would have gone on 4th down then, too. That was a mercy punt.
The most overwhelming stat is that the Hoosiers have not trailed for a moment this season.
If the criteria for earning a letter is number of punts during the season, our punter may not letter. In addition if any of his Nil Money is based upon appearance time, He may be checking his couch cushions for spare change,Interesting.
