You have to actually attempt to run the ball. Newby was doing good and had acouple of nice runs but we were playing catchup. Can't run the ball down 24 points.
Quit being an ass... And a troll! at the same sight they showed average per game which is more representative than your agenda here.
Are you surprised that teams that have a higher average than Nebraska per game would have less total penalties since they played one fewer game?
What were you trying to prove with this stat? EVERYBODY ELSE would do average per game, but not Tulsa Tom. You are a fool and a troll.
You win. Use whatever penalty stat you want to float your boat. If you find enough ways to complain about the numbers, you don't have to acknowledge it's a problem with this staff. I can give you a list of names here who will either deflect with issues like yours or will simply ignore this whole discussion.
Do you know what this means? "It's neither here nor there "… I'm not arguing that the stat is bad. I just love how you conveniently pick the worst possible stat to find when you are all about averages. For example, "Bo won 10 games a season." "We average over 10 penalties a game." So why now all of a sudden do you go with most penalties but not an average per game? It's obvious that you're trying to make it as bad as possible…
Again, it's bad enough as it is. But go ahead float your own boat… Find the worst possible way to look at it.
Tom, there are times where I try and understand you and I want to give you the benefit of the doubt. But at times like this you're just plain and simply an ass.
Penalties are sometimes used by people to get an idea of how well-coached a team is. Not all well-coached teams are extremely low in penalties, but they will have wins to count in their favor.
Any type of discussion that does not paint Riley in the best possible picture has been viewed as "trolling" now for 9 months. If we expect to win, fixing penalties would be a good start. It won't guarantee wins, but it's a good start.

I do find it simply stunning how comfortable some people are with what we're seeing on the field. Those same people are the posters who call someone a boliever for posting troubling stats. It's been that way ever since people posted their concern for Nebraska hiring a career .500 coach. If anyone has any concerns, they are a boliever apparently. I wonder how long that trend is going to last around here...?Enough deflection.. Any discussion on the actual topic, Timnsun? You could always say this will change when we get rid of Bo's players?
The last few years, Nebraska's high ranking in the penalty category was a reflection of how out of control Pelini was.
Maybe I responded too harshly, but I didn't appreciate being called a 12 year old for merely pointing out it was 124 out of 127 when comparing apples to apples... Again, I didn't say the stats weren't bad at all... They are very troubling. I don't know where you got the idea that I was deflecting from the issue at hand.
I stand by my statement questioning the reason for the post... If you wanted to point out how bad Nebraska was in penalties, why didn't you do it the way you have in the past, namely, taking the average of something? Surely you understand by pointing out number of penalties those who have only played two games immediately look better than us.
Once again, when I said, "it's neither here nor there," I thought you would understand that I was saying it doesn't change the fact that we are a highly penalized team. I guess you didn't understand it that way, hence your 12 year old shot.
I know you don't agree, but when you post something that makes the team look as bad as possible rather than the average which is slightly better and more accurate, it feels like a troll to me. So I called you out, but only after you railed on me.
The penalties that are emotional need to be cut out because they are stupid emotion, most of the PIs so far. It kills drives or puts the defense in a bad way.
The pre snap penalties are bad. Need to get comfortable with the new system and I think those are reduced.
Some of the penalties are not being in proper position or still learning the new techniques being taught.
Overall the abundance of penalties suck and it needs to get better and in a hurry.
The players need to make the adjustments and the coaches need to hold guys accountable. I think both groups are trying but it needs to get better and fast.

Outside of Gerry..how many playmakers do we have in the back 7? I could see MRI stepping up and being another but once again he's injured. Also..we don't have anyone who can come off the edge and disrupt the QB causing INT"s or fumbles. If we want turnovers we need to recruit.
