Well lets hope you see it during the season GBR. He is entirely capable; he often has stellar quarters - then he does his old thing and has a disastrous group of plays; so he can get it done. Has to follow the coaches.At first I didn't see the decimal.
That ratio does bring up another part of the equation. Nebraska's defense has been terrible at creating turnovers for the last 5 seasons. That stat more than any other is a reflection of talent issues on defense.We will win a lot of games if he does...We need at least a 2 to 1 ratio or greater.
Just don't turn the damn thing over on your own 5 yard line.
I don't know whether Grizzly Adams had a bear or not.And Grizzley Adams had a bear
Nice catch .I don't know whether Grizzly Adams had a bear or not.
Throwing 25 passes a game is a recipe for disaster.We need to average between 20-27 pass attempts per game with Tommy for this to happen. Not only will he throw less picks, his completion percentage will be above 60 percent if we do this. Take it to the bank.
A quick google search showed Nebraska ran 75 plays per game on average last year. 35 per game of those plays were passes. If we can cut 10 passes per game, I don't see how that is a recipe for disaster. Isn't that what we are wanting to do, run more and pass less?Throwing 25 passes a game is a recipe for disaster.

My highly scientific number is average of 22 attempts per game. Can tolerate a few more if some of those are shovel passes and screens.A quick google search showed Nebraska ran 75 plays per game on average last year. 35 per game of those plays were passes.

The impression that I get is their opinion of their o-line improved as the season wore on. You got a bit of that vibe of, "We'd love to call more runs, but these kids can't block them." I think between that and them having a little tendency to dial up too many throws once it was game time and the "live bullets" were flying, you wound up with too much passing.Most of the fans can see what we need to average as far as run/pass ratios etc, but will the staff actually do that? Who knows..
We were fed a lot of talk before the season last year, and they didn't really walk the talk. Instead, they made TA sling it all over and didn't help him with all the questionable play calling.
Other than it being year two, I don't see why it would be any different this year.
The UCLA game was a one off, so they said, and that's a shame, as it was really a recipe for them to use this whole year.
I completely agree.. they will be more settled in their system when they have the right players to run it like how they want to.. it's still transitionThe impression that I get is their opinion of their o-line improved as the season wore on.

As I've said before, though, you can't just decide to be a running team because one day you're magically good at it. You have to really rep it. So I think it was a bit of a vicious cycle.
I want to believe them that they'll run more, but I tend to agree that when I look at all the WR talent they're trying to bring in...that doesn't give me the sense that a 60 runs per game team is on the horizon. I think after TA graduates, you see them settle in around 30 passes a game.

If that's what it takes for us to win, I'm all for it too.I think less than 20 would be ideal. I believe Tommy threw 17 passes in the bowl game.
Funny, I've always heard that referenced as a TO quote."When you pass he ball 3 things can happen and 2 of them are bad" Woody ( I did not punch that player) Hayes OSU.
Devaney is the attribution I've heard. Ultimately it's one of those that they're not sure who actually said it first, but it might have been Darrell Royal.Funny, I've always heard that referenced as a TO quote.
I have seen it attributed to Darryl Royal fwiw.Funny, I've always heard that referenced as a TO quote.

Oh yeah! I believe!
If he plays running back or wide receiver, that might be possible.
