Thread to Nebraska, From Iowa

Ok, I get tired of explaining this to Husker fans. So instead, I just looked up the info and let you figure it out yourself. Remember when ya go bowling (yes thats a pun), you take a heavy ball and you throw it at pins? Well as you remember, the harder you throw the ball, or the more speed the the ball has, the more violently the pins get whacked around. Now what if you throw a heavier ball but at the same speed? Now read this.

Q. Oh what you say, why are you comparing a qb to a rb?

A. Iowas D practices against a rb whos just about as fast as the beloved T-Mart.

Q. Yeah but look at our beast of a rb Rex.

A. Dam he is fast, not as big but fast. But lets see here Marcus 4.59 @230lbs. Rex 4.46 @210lbs. You realize that is .13 seconds difference in almost half a football field. If I was more mathamatical I would wonder what that comes out to in inches
(divide .13 seconds by 1,440 inches or so, = .00009027777, that cant be right can it?).
Also Iowas Lb's are used to stopping a pretty darn fast bowling ball, I wonder how Nebraskas Lb's are going to like the extra 20 or so pounds behind each hit and I know your qb does not want to take that hit either.

Nebraska will finish in the middle of the pack their inaugural season and wonder at what point it sounded like a good idea to move to the B1G. Husker fans simply have no grasp of what's coming their way.

Agreed, I just hope they do keep T-mart under center. I hate to see kids get hurt. I always thought Mich was messing up also. T-mart and Dennard are good ball players, just not big enough to take a pounding from big 10 Lb's all day.
Which brings me to my next point, we recruited a speed demon also (at rb), I like it as long as we have two really sturdy backs at all times also. With speed like that I would expect Iowa to start running a few new O plays in the next year or two. If you can get that kid into space and get him the ball, he is gone.
 
Man, the way you guys over-exagerrate the Big 10 defenses, it is a wonder that anyone makes it through alive. Maybe the reason your running back was hitting the chron is becuse he couldn't cope with all of the pain that Northwestern, Minnesota, and Indiana were dropping on him.

What did I over-exagerrate. Did you take any physics classes?

And Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan State...just thought I would finish your statement. Who has rex taken hits from? Big 12 has absolutely zero defense. Iowa State, Colorado, Texas Tech, Oklahoma. Even Oklahoma doesn't have a strong defense. B1G > Big 12 welcome aboard and try not to get hurt.

Your physics analogy is incredibly flawed. And while the Big 10 defenses are probably more physical on the whole than Big 12 defenses, they are not going to take anyone by suprise. If you think the players at Nebraska have never faced physical athletes, you're high, and you're greatly over-exagerrating the effect.

Wait, see, now I'm confused.. are you insinuating that the OP is Adam Robinson? It's hard to keep up!

Go ahead, prove me wrong. Dont just say "your wrong". By my figures Nebraska's "stellar D" is about average for upper teams in the B10. Now as for your improved O, I guarantee, they wont let T-mart wear red in the games. If our boys are used to taking down a power runner, with T-marts speed, but has 40 pounds or so more muscle. Go on you figure out the rest of the equation. Rex could be good, I heard he is trying to put on some weight, but many have tried that without sucess. You add 20 pounds and your speed changes and your run style changes, it's not easy to adjust to, not that he cant do it, but it will have an affect, weather it's good or bad will remain to be seen.
I never said Nebraska hasnt faced physical players, but it's a fact you havent had 5 games a year of it.

Iowa is good and Nebraska is bad

Well it certainly blows up the whole B10 slow, Nebraska fast arguement now doesnt it? It also points out that our D is used to catching and stopping a big 4.5 runner now doesnt it? The only question remaining is how Nebraska's qb and smaller back like being met by lb's who are used to stopping someone with a little more mass behind them.
Make no mistake if he stays healthy coker goes first round ( ok maybe not 1st round) jr year. Go back and watch the bowl game, that kid can lower the boom for sure, but also watch what happens when he hits the crack. 40 yards at a time, that kid has some speed as well. Notice when Missery stood him up and had two guys taking him down, one was trying to strip the ball as he went down, you could see his arm muscles tighten around the ball like a frigging python sqeezing it's pray.
Now our D lines up against our O during practice, so what effect do you think this has on our D?
Anyone remember Green? What years did he play? How was our D then?
Come on people I cant do all the work for you!!!

Do you think the starting offense and starting defense do a lot of full speed/strength scrimmaging against one another?
