Week 7/8 Bob Diaco Defense Ratings

[HuskerinBig10]

When Nebraska played lower echelon teams, the overall numbers improved. Purdue, Northwestern, Minnesota, and Iowa are all lower echelon teams and so is Nebraska.

Purdue only plays lower echelon teams from here on out.
Minnesota still has to play Michigan and Wisconsin.
Northwestern still has to play Michigan State.
Iowa still has to play Ohio State and Wisconsin.
Purdue has the easiest schedule from here on out.

2-3 at best

We suck.

A little better than a 3-9 Oregon St suck.

Yea. I now am less concerned about Purdue than I was. Though I still don't think we're gonna have it easy there.

The other 4 teams all just play fundamentally better than we do. Even with Iowa struggling, we saw what they can do physically against the likes of Penn State. We aren't a physical football team. They'll probably have 280 yards of offense and beat us by 10 as usual.

Thing is Iowa and Purdont play UP to their competition, they wake up for big games.... we arent a big game

Iowa played without Josey Jewel. He was either out robbing banks or doing some country singing.

Jewel is a big game changer for Iowa. He would have made a difference against the bad Northwestern team.
