Raiola Season Props Posted

[BTF69]

I've got beers in the fridge that are older than my dog. I tried to kill my liver in my 20's but at 50 the hangovers really aren't worth it.

Now I want to know how old your dog is!?!?

the only time Satt has had a 5* QB running his offense (Spencer Rattler), here's where he finished:

3,026 yards
18 TDs
46 yards rushing
3 TD

and that was with the offense running about a 51% pass/49% rush play mix - way way way more pass happy than I and everyone else believe our mix will be this season

Ratt may have been a 5*, but he had a 5-cent head.

I do not see DR having a pass-happy offense as a Frosh, but maybe a Soph and above (if he is still around). They need the RB's to ground and pound and take the pressure off the O-line. If any QB is in a constant passing situation, they are not effective. I would like to see 60/40 run to pass. I want to see defenses sucking wind in the 4th qtr because they are beat up, not because of chasing receivers. Every team NU plays this year should lose the next week because they are so beaten up.

If they can get a solid running game, the numbers will take care of themselves...

You protect the OL and QB by doing the unexpected, which is throwing on early downs. Given our RB and OL, do you think we are just going to ground and pound against Big 10 defenses, especially without the threat of the QB running?
Looking at our RB vs. WR/TE, you think they are waiting until 3rd and 8 to throw the ball?

If DR has more than..25 designed runs, not counting sneaks, all year, I will be shocked.

Bet the farm on U 199 rushing yards

Yeah, lotta touchy bitches on this site

24 beers?? I’ll clip that before conf play

I will be in Lincoln for the UTEP game.

I will be well over 12 beers BEFORE heading back to Omaha after the game.

24 beers...that is for Mormons.

Wait, I thought that was a per game stat

One advantage the O-line has now is their age, they are now the senior citizens of the team and that will pay dividends. O-line is a grown-ass man's game. 23-24 year old muscle is much stronger than 19-20 year old muscle. If they constantly put DR in predictable passing situations, he will not have great success. The RBs are still an unknown quantity; they have been injured and have not been able to find any type of rhythm. Pass on first down, run on third down, use a fricken screen pass, but be unpredictable. The only way to get good at running the ball is to RUN THE DAMN BALL! You can't try to do it for three or four series and then abandon it...

My gut is telling me he is going to average 2 TD's a game minimum and that is 24

I think he’ll average 2 a game, but the variable is staying healthy enough to play all 12 games.

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

Yeah, lotta touchy bitches on this site

Still don’t see your predictions.

all regular season over/unders:

Passing Yards - 2669.5
Passing TDs - 20.5
Rushing Yards - 199.5
Rushing TDs - 5.5

keep in mind sack yardage lost counts against rushing totals in college, unlike in the NFL

checking in on these with 4 games to go

DR's current stats & pace:

Passing Yards - 1,744, on pace for 2,616 - UNDER pace, but close
Passing TDs - 9, on pace for 14 - pacing way UNDER
Rushing Yards - -58, on pace for -87 - pacing way, way UNDER
Rushing TDs - 0, on pace for 0 - pacing way, way UNDER

Yikes....

I know that you are being Randy Quaid in Major League 2, but you are absolutely NUTS if you think Raiola is going to throw less than 20.5 TD's. Only way that happens is if he gets injured. If what we saw was 16 TD's last year, and Raiola throws only 4 more Rhule will be looking for another job.

So I know you don't want to be a Kool Aid drinking sunshine pumper, but I also think you sound idiotic thinking Raiola is going to have similar numbers to last year

at this point, DR will need to pick up his TD passing pace in order to simply match the 16 scores we threw for last season.

Haarberg started 8 games for us last year, but really only played 7 since he went out so early against Maryland.
DR has started 8 games for us this year.

here's how they compare:

HH - 49% completions, 1,444 yards, 12 total TDs, 7 INTs
DR - 66.1% completions, 1,686 total yards, 9 total TDs, 7 INTs

the offense is averaging 24ppg compared to 22ppg last year during HH's starts

pretty similar numbers. by far the biggest improvement is in fumbles lost.

W/L record is the same.

Looks like he will hit the under on my INT per game prediction but I didn’t expect him to abandon throwing deep 50/50 balls like he has. I had him at 1.6 per game. He did his best against IU to try to make me look good.

I have to check but I know I did unders in rushing yards...but I think I also took over in passing yards.

he didn't abandon it. The OL did.

Fair

Tough to argue when he hasn't thrown for a TD in 3 games

 

[dinglefritz]

He’s had time to throw but has been very cautious.
