[phoenix4nu]

A lot of bad numbers for Nebraska.

 

[jeff v4]

Wow! Those numbers are just sick!!! Then throw into the equation that we are paying over 400K for a special teams coach. I do like MR and really hope he gets this mess turned around. Thanks for posting these weekly!

 

[jimbosc]

Special teams are a mixed bag aren't they - some good - some very bad.

 

[huskerbux]

Bad numbers indeed. But still better than Purdue's across the board. Why am I still worried? Ugh.

 

[leodisflowers]

To a certain extent they are bad. The biggest problem I see is the defensive numbers. We are scoring a decent amount of points even with people thinking Langs is a dumbshit. If our defense could just hold teams to 3 touchdowns we would be in a whole different conversation right now.

 

[newAD]

Wow, and Memphis is behind us in passing defense, but Justin Fuente is the hot new coach?

 

[ssmill777]

Bad numbers indeed. But still better than Purdue's across the board. Why am I still worried? Ugh.

Because you should be. This will not be an easy game for us, and Purdue will give a lot of effort to stay out of the basement of the B1G West. 50/50 game for me.
