Surprising defensive numbers

[jedburks]

2009 was obviously Bo's best defense here at Nebraska as head coach. We are on pace to best many of the numbers from that 09 season. Even through 5 games in 09 compared to the first 5 games this year it is shockingly better.

2009 through 5 games:
30 TFL
12 sacks
5 INT
25 pass break ups
17 QB hurries

2012 through 5 games
51 TFL
19 sacks
3 INT
24 pass break ups
18 QB hurries

In 09 we averaged 7.8 TFL/G and 3.1 sacks/g

So far this year we are averaging 10.2 TFL/G and 3.8 sacks/g

i think all this really shows is that this D is putting up the flashy type stats....the difference is that the 09 D was stout as fuck and didn't give up a lot of yards or points. look at YPG and PPG between the two years and im sure you will see a totally different story than what these stats show

 

[FNG]

Some numbers i looked up and have on the BS part 2.


Just heard a crazy stat about the team. So did some digging.

T.F.L Huskers this year tied for 5th place with 43 averaging almost 9 a game so far. Last year we had 61 for the whole season average 4.7.

Sacks Huskers are in 8th place with 19 averaging 3.5 sack a game so far. Last year we had 21 1.5.

Obviously this D will be Bo's best once we minimize the few coverage brain farts, and grt the communication down

Someone pass me the pipe

This will be your best defense once you stop other teams from scoring so much.

[Jack_John_Mark]

We forced a lot of field goal attempts in 2009

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

We are actually on pace to force more field goal attempts this season than we did in 2009 though.......

Interesting....

 

[iruletheskool]

Check out the stats if ye ignore UCLA game.. jest curious

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

In order to do that we'd have to drop that week for every team in the country to compare en sech

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I could probably modify my code in my program quick and do it though.......I'll try just for shits and giggles

 

[iruletheskool]

Yeeee thatd be cool

 

[Brasky]

Newsflash: UCLA is the only remotely good team we have played.

 

[HawkeyeHater]

That..

 

[HuskerCradle2Grave]

Yeah, i would like to see a comparo of the SOS for the first five games of the 2 seasons in question...

You really can't omit the UCLA stats tho. They are the most accurate regarding a mobile QB. Ohio St doesn't have a Franklin at RB though.

I pointed out in the Nebraska/Ohio St thread last night that the defenses #'s were improving at a rapid pace. Rushing D is improving but at a slower pace.

S. Miss- 47 for 216
UCLA- 56 for 366
Arky St- 37 for 163
Idaho St- 29 for 70
Wisky- 41 for 110

If you took out the UCLA game, NU Rushing D would rank 50th @ 139 YPG
Ohio St is currently 19th @ 100 YPG
Wisconsin went from 13th @ approx 90YPG, down to 31st @ 116 YPG after playing NU
