Ok just hitting the highlights here you J*** A**
Your vaunted blackshirts have played Western Kentucky who gives up an average of 594 yard per game, lost to Kentucky (who even husker fans would agree are a poor football team) 63-28 so Kentucky beat them worst then you did. A WKY team lost to INDIANA the doormat of the B10 (the conference we invited you to) 38-21 and you beat WKY at your historic memorial stadium only 49-10....hhmmmmm.
You played Idaho a 2-1 team that has beat North Dakota who is 1-2 and is not good at all, and an 0-3 UNLV team that barely musters 290 yards per game. Then a Washington team whose special teams are even worse then Iowa's right now....the announcers on ABC called them the worst they had ever seen in a BCS school. This Washington team is averaging 360 yards per game....
- You are giving up 16 ppg to that schedule!!! Don't give me mop up duty not all those scores are in mop up.
- Your opponents have 51 first downs to your 62
- You are giving up 138 yard per game on the ground to 3 VERY POOR RUSHING TEAMS, and in the words of your head coach, "teams are going to test us right up the gut until we show we can stop somebody"
- Your opponents have an average time of possession of 30:12 to your 29:00 OUCH
- Your opponents red zone scores are 7 of 8 for a CRISP 88%
- Your opponents red zone TD's are 5-8 for a 63% OUCH
- You have 9 sacks against teams that average giving up 7 sacks a game to INFERIOR opponents.
- You have 14 tackles for loss to 15 for your opponents...who are WEAK.
So in a nutshell your vaunted defense is untested and showing some serious kinks in the armour. Bo has alluded to it...announcers have alluded to it. Hell even the HOMER BOYS on 1620 the zone think they are susceptible to power football right now. Come back and crow after you beat Oklahoma or Texas...or better yet ISU. Bo has yet to beat a rated team in his tenure....
