Our offense absolutely stunk & turned the ball over at will all season, the fact that we had a top 15 defense was solely Tony White's coaching. We literally gave teams 3-4 extra possessions a game just because of how mediocre the offense was
We were top 1/3 in time of possession. They really should track # of possessions on stats websites. I'd think it mostly translates though.

Nebraska’s offensive style has to have had some contribution to the defense’s improvement yhis year.
I’m not sure how this is even possible based solely on gut feel. May need to look at some TOP stats between last year and this year.

This year’s offense fucked the defense so often it’s hard to imagine they helped them at all.

I think my feel is there might have been more prolonged drives this year giving the defense a break than in years past. Not sure if that equals out the TOs and field position issues.

Agree only partially. I have hope many of the improvements our defense made this season are not directly tied to TW and can continue even if we were to lose him.

Our guys are much more agile, it seems, and able to make more plays. Nash Hutmacher is the foremost example. I think this can be attributed to Corey Campbell and the S&C staff and its philosophy of making players quicker and more sudden, and not focusing on just adding size and strength like the last staff seemed to do.

Secondly, our tackling is dramatcially improved. I think much of this has to to with us going live and actually tackling in practice multiple times a week, including 1's on 1's. This is a Rhule philosophy.

Yes, White has been the goods and has a strong hand in turning the defense around. But for the reasons I mentioned above, I hope the improved agility and tackling is something we will continue to see under Rhule no matter who the DC is.

And the defense was on the filed 114 snaps fewer this year than last - ten per game. That's huge. Obviously the defense plays a huge role in that, but the offense did chew up clock even though they didn't score a lot.

Well, you're tired of "everyone's bitching" and how every thread is the "same."

Garrett created these board because tater ville became nothing but a bunch of lazy writers who didn't do their homework and the message board was spewed with over the top sunshine pumping and if you had the slightest bit of criticism you were attacked and ganged up on.

People here keep it real.

You're getting upset because people are giving their honest opinion of certain news. It's called an instant reaction. Sorry you don't approve of one's instant reaction.
Um he created this board for his rise to power and the untold riches it has bestowed on him.

I think it has more to do with the new clock rules

The offense throughout Frost’s tenure was still turning the ball over at an extremely high level while also running hurry up. Incrementally, the style of offense helped the defense. Having a offense that didn’t lead the nation in turnovers would help even more obviously

He says at the time of the article being published……which it was published 4 hours ago. He has since backtracked and said he got the info from like a friend of a friend scenario. Not sure why they decided to just pin that article at the top of their message board a few mins ago, as it’s causing all sorts of confusion.

"keep it real" doesn't equal being a cuck and crying in every thread giving 'instant reaction' to any piece of news or rumor

relax my dude. you should know by now, nebraska football is the 7th circle of hell, enjoy the ride.

They can set a time for the story to post. Probably wanted it to post late morning and set the time and forgot to turn it off
