Backup QB at Nebraska is always the most popular guy on the field.

We had a future Heisman winner in Crouch and there were some yearning for Newcomb.

Casey Thompson is a smart football player. He will check down or scramble for 5 yards before he throws a pick.

If Nebraska's defense plays as well as it should, and the special teams are actually competent, he will be a God Send for Nebraska football.

Chubba is basically a 6'4 version of Adrian Martinez. He makes everybody's jaw drop on 1 or 2 plays, and then on the 3rd play, Eteva Mauga-Clements is housing an 80 yard pick 6.

Casey's biggest limitation is consistency in the Vertical route. But he's really good inside 25 yards.

To be fair is there enough of a sample size to really know what Chubba will be? I also get why Thompson is starting, but I think it’s a stretch to call Chubba Martinez at this point.

It was a talking point from the radio talking heads today. So I'm assuming he listens to sports talk.

Posted this the other day kn insider. CT isnt terribly far from Martinez on turnovers..

Martinez was hit or sacked 33 times vs CT 36. 2AM had 78 carries to CT's 20. 2AM 331 total snaps CT 278. Assuming Fox is the accurate one here with fumbles. (PFF showed 7 fumbles for CT, 10 for 2AM Fox CT 3 fumbles 1 lost 2AM 7 fumbles 3 lost)

Martinez 7 fumbles per hit 6.3% per snap 2.1%
Fumbles lost 3 per hit 2.7% per snap .9%

CT 3 fumbles per hit 5.3% per snap 1.1%
Fumbles lost per hit 1.8% per snap .4%

Martinez 307 pass attempts 10 interceptions. CT 264 attempts 9 interceptions

CT Int every 29.33 attempts
2AM Int every 30.7

Martinez turnovers with less than 3 minutes of one score games 98.23%

 

[Jim14510]

2AM
50% of throws under 10 yds 81.4%
28% of throws 10-19 58.2%
22% 20+ 47.5%
Overall 67.5%

CT
52% of throws under 10 82.2%
30% of throws 10-19 60%
18% 20+ 32.6%
66.8%

Difference of about 5 completions on 20+ favor 2AM. Difference of about 2 on 10-19 favor CT. Difference of 1 completion under 10 yards favor CT.

These percentages don't include passes that were thrown away intentionally.

The assumption comes from the fact if Thompson does struggle Frost doesn’t have next year. It’s common sense he will make a change quicker than if it was year one or year two etc. I’m more worried about Thompson getting hurt behind our line than anything.

If you include rushing TDs and fumbles CT has almost a more than 2 times better TD to turnover ratio.

If you don't include the rushing stats it is wider.

Found my post on this...
CT has lost 1 fumble His career and has 5 rushing TDs. He also has 30 passing TDs to 9 ints. So you have 35 TDs to 10 TOs. 3.5 to 1.

2AM has lost 18 fumbles his career and has 35 rushing TDs. He also has 45 passing TDs to 30 ints. So you have 80 TDs to 48. 1.6 to 1.

Huh? Unless you got numbers mixed around CT has a higher % at every distance.

Hope Whipple can coach Chubba better than geriatric Harry Potter could coach Adrian.

I must have mixed the 20+ Martinez was higher

His accuracy in short to mid range passing is incredible. You can tell in the red zone on his ball placement.

I also think Casey had a lot of his interceptions post thumb injury.... Now how much of that is the thumb and how much is slightly better competition? I don't know.

Injury was against Oklahoma right? 3 before and 6 after.

3 in 91 attempts before Oklahoma 1 in 30.3 attempts
6 in 171 attempts after Oklahoma 1 in 28.5 attempts

Not counting Oklahoma at all

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

Yup...



So 10 TDs 6 INTs after (6 TDs vs Kansas)
14 TDs 3 ints before

You can also look at the competition. So, how much of it was thumb vs competition?
