Red Zone Defense

[Blakejc]

In Big Ten play, Nebraska opponents were 28-for-28 (100%) scoring in the red zone this year:

• 22 touchdowns (78.57%)
• 6 field goals

CFBstats.com has conference data going back to 2016. In that span, no team has allowed a worse red-zone scoring percentage than the 2025 Nebraska defense (100%). Nebraska is also tied with 2024 Purdue for the worst red-zone touchdown percentage allowed (78.57%) in that ten-year period.

I’m no mathematician but isn’t it literally impossible to allow a worse percentage?

Indeed it is. And every other big ten team since 2016 had stopped the opponent from scoring at least once. Until us.

Don’t doubt Nebraskas ability to do the impossible

Butler wasn't ready for a defensive coordinator position. Definitely not at Nebraska.

Not sure if working with a 3-3-5 designed from the getgo that put him in a bad spot, but we handed the stick shift truck to someone who doesn't know how to work a manual truck.
