My previous post shows them wrong, 2014 McNeese State flooded the numbers, I couldn't make it more obvious for everyone to see.
Florida Atlantic and FCS opponent McNeese State steps in and says hello...
Exactly. Eichorst blew up the program because he and many in this fan base couldn't stomach a couple of blowouts to Wisconsin. I expect Wes Lunt is going to have a field day against this secondary on Saturday. Because RBs with 400-yard rushing games against the Blackshirts provide so much more embarrassment than than QBs who put up 400 yard passing games against a secondary.
Let me guess there have been far more 400 yd passing games then rushing games, let alone by a single player. I am guessing something like 500:1.
You don't win games when anyone runs for 400. You can still win games if they are forced to throw for 400 and can't run the ball.
Yep according to me who has provided facts. What have you provided other than Banker sucks?

Bo Blew up the program when he got destroyed on national television by a Wisconsin team that was barely above 500.
Then followed it up by giving up an NCAA rushing record, through 3 quarters?.
I could go on and on with the incredible story that is Bo, but you already know the details and history of the Defensive Guru that is Bo Peeelini.
Back to penalties.
“I’m sure that they took off at least 10 points for penalties and probably 150 yards,” he said. “I’m frustrated that we are not a little bit better to eliminate some of those penalties. I’m going to take a more aggressive approach to teaching,.”
Good call coach! (Too bad it's from Lester...)

You see those kind of passing numbers every week, all over the country (and in the NFL). How many times do you see 408 on the ground in 3 quarters to one frickin guy? He would have had 1000 if the endzone wouldn't have stopped him. Your logic, like yourself is quite flawed. Your agenda is showing.

Let's also not forget:
1. The difficult wins against average opponents
2. No fewer than four losses per season except for the season he was fired.
3. Zero championships of significance
4. Zero BCS/New Year's Six tier bowl games.
5. Numerous PR gaffes and attrition with the fans and media
...and notable for this season:
6. Half-baked recruiting that yielded most of our current two-deep on defense.
Such a grand man with grand accomplishments. Yet, he's now at Youngstown State.
Are you suggesting Riley and his staff aren't concerned about this? A quick google search reveals comments directly from Riley that documents concern.
"The Huskers racked up 12 penalties for 98 yards. And is the coach concerned?
"Yeah, absolutely, absolutely," Riley answered a reporter in mid-question. "We got better last week and then procedurally tonight, it was not good. We had a hard time with some formations. No telling what that in the end cost us."
http://journalstar.com/sports/huske...cle_c925b3f9-59f4-53d4-8888-7b754eaf93d5.html
It's been terrible but it's clear the staff has it on the radar. We will have to see if it gets better.
The think I like Lester is he has shared the answer. He personally needs to get more aggressive with his approach to teaching. I am sure that Riley feels he has some answers...I just would like to know what those things are. Obviously, Riley isn't ignoring it. I would just like to know what he is doing to see it get corrected.
This made me chuckle a little... It's not enough to hear that he is aware and will do something about it. You want to know what he is going to do. What purpose does that serve? I know Riley is more transparent than our previous staff, but why does he need to tell us precisely how he will fix it? If Riley said, "I'm going to have to take a more aggressive approach to teaching" you would be better? What kind of answer is that? If Riley is aware and addressing it, I am sure teaching will come into play.
Trust the coaches. None of us need to know what Riley will do. We just need to know that he will do something.

He should say something like this: "I wish there was a drill or a solution to decreasing penalties, but sadly there is not". Then everyone will give him a pass.
Alright. I personally think this is a double-edged sword. You talk about player focus and execution and you get mocked for coach speak. I can handle a hold or a PI once in a while but I'd like to see the false start, procedural, and alignment/shift stuff go away. That's for sure.
should never give up 379 yards passing over a 4 game stretch no matter who you play
2015 Nebraska, under Banker, is giving up 26.5 PPG, which is .1 PPG higher than Peelini.
2014 Nebraska gave up 26.4 PPG. 2013 Nebraska gave up 24.8 PPG.
Surprised @suhnami hasn't jumped in here since you're living in the past. Oh well, his agenda was already known...
lol you needed to include a bad fcs team to make the stats seam better than they really are. yes me talking out a fcs school really manipulated the stats
you are correct my bad. didn't realize they started playing fbs in 2013. they didn't start playing any football till 2010
This is interesting. We are seeing more and more people argue that in todays college football game one should only really be worried about turnovers created and PPG. The rest is minor given that spread concepts have changed college football forever. Giving up 400 yards a game is basically standard at this point.
I didn't include any FCS team, you may want to follow football a little closer before popping off.
Interesting you say this, 15 seasons should be a large enough sample size.
Number of teams that give up less than 400 total yards a game
2014 - 69 defenses (Nebraska 383.7)
2013 - 62 defenses (Nebraska 370.7)
2012 - 65 defenses (Nebraska 360.6)
2011 - 75 defenses (Nebraska 350.7)
2010 - 82 defenses (Nebraska 306.8)
2009 - 87 defenses (Nebraska 271.3)
2008 - 91 defenses (Nebraska 349.8)
2007 - 68 defenses (Nebraska 476.8)
2006 - 108 defenses (Nebraska 331.8)
2005 - 76 defenses (Nebraska 332.1)
2004 - 79 defenses (Nebraska 371.6)
2003 - 77 defenses (Nebraska 297.1)
2002 - 80 defenses (Nebraska 361.9)
2001 - 78 defenses (Nebraska 287.1)
2000 - 79 defenses (Nebraska 321.8)

Shocking that he, or she, runs when facts are presented. @500mileRadius
I really don't get what's hard about getting the team to line up correctly and go on the snap. The staff has impressed me with how they go about almost everything else, but the penalty situation is embarrassing and it was pointed out a long while back that this was a problem at Oregon St as well.
Through 4 games in 2014 ppg: 7, 24, 19, and 31 (scored with 3 sec left).
By my math thats 20.25 ppg through 4 games (just so no one is manipulating stats)...apples to apples
We havent even hit the heart of out schedule this year...we will see how it plays out.
If Alex Lewis could just go from seemingly 2 penalties a game down to 1, that'd certainly help the penalty numbers.
