    Game Thread Nebraska v Northwestern (Saturday, October 25, 11:00am FS1)

    He’s only a RS Sophomore. Expectations were probably too high for him (and Keona) this year. Would love to see then come on in the second half of the season to build momentum for next year, but it’s just different when you’re expected to be the man.

    Offense+Defense vs. P4 (thru October 25th)

    O/D/ST USC: 1, 54, 65 NU: 48, 26, 9 Our O vs. their D is about even. Their O vs. our D is a mismatch Our ST is a big advantage. Sounds about right.

    Football NIL Discussion

    He was just taking bong rips out of a gas mask and not working out. I think most people liked him. And he was productive. That helps.

    Week 10 v USC: Depth Chart, Game Notes, etc

    I do think the crowd will be as good as anything since Colorado last year. I think we win special teams. Could easily see us get out to an early 10-14pt lead. But, can we keep that lead? We’ve blown 4 double digit leads this year already, need to find a way to play well in those situations.

    Haha, yet his performance last year in ~100 snaps is outperforming any of our current starters who will end up with 4x as many snaps. So what’s that say?

    Agreed, we’ve done nothing to replace their production. And I feel like Shavers should have about 4 sacks this year if he was being utilized the way Butler said he would be. Something ain’t right there. Same with McColllough. Feels like that dude should have 6 sacks by now. He’s beating his man...

    Ty and Nash make a difference, but I don’t think this defense would be as bad at rush D if White were coaching. They’d be giving up more passing yards, though. Side tangent: Problem is, talk smack on James Williams all you want, but he had 5 sacks in about 100 snaps. MJ Sherman had 3.5 sacks...

    50/133 is decent (although nationally the goal should be top 40), but when you take out all the non P4 teams, and realize we’re 41/68 it’s below average/bad, especially when you consider how much we have invested in the offense.

    Offense+Defense vs. P4 (thru October 25th)

    I don’t think SSO has a vendetta against Butler, but he has been consistent that there’d be a drop off defensively. And he’s right. White may have done better, but you have to remember Butler changed how we play philosophically. Butler is stopping the pass first, White was trying to stop the...

    It’s game week, so I’m gonna take that as patronization and take offense.

    Cockeye is scary. Their defense against P4 opponents: PPG: 6th/68 YPG: 4th/68 YPP: 5th/68

    Offense+Defense vs. P4 (thru October 25th)

    Yes, cfbstats.com can toggle the stats to only include p4 opponents. So the national rankings includes teams like north Texas or old dominion who have played 1-2 p4 opponents. Thats the national ranking in parentheses out of the 135 or so teams. From there I go and filter through only the p4...
