How to Beat Nebraska

[catsfan20012002]

1. The Lynch Mob, are we still calling them that?, better come to play

Only three teams rank in the top 25 in rushing, passing, total offense and scoring offense. They are Nebraska, Louisville and Oregon.

2. Give Free plenty of time to throw the ball against a pretty weak NU pass rush 

Nebraska led the nation in 2005 with 50 sacks but have only eight this year and rank 95th in the country.

3. Force the Huskers into 3rd and Long

The Huskers have converted 49% on 3rd Down. It's alot harder to convert 3rd and 8 vs. 3rd and 1.

Bonus Key to the Game.....

4. Win Time of Possession

The Huskers average a Big 12-most 32 minutes, 50 seconds in time of possession. Give the ball to Leon Patton and get the heck out of the way.

#2 and #4 go together. I guess the moral of the story is to be balanced offensively.

Where does KSU rank in time of possession?

I'm not sure what number we're ranked in T.O.P. but we average 26:43 minutes/game.

1. The Lynch Mob, are we still calling them that?, better come to play

With the exception of Marlon Lucky's TD run, the Huskers only rushed for 3.6 yards/carry

2. Give "Free" plenty of time to throw the ball against a pretty weak NU pass rush 

It looks like he had a decent day on the surface, 49% completion % for 272 yards (5.8 yards/completion) but 2 INT's hurt and they kicked our tails up front so looks can obviously be deceiving. Either way I still say this kid is going to be something special

3. Force the Huskers into 3rd and Long

The Huskers converted 41% on 3rd down. That's too good, especially when we only converted 8% on 3rd down.

4. Win Time of Possession

Nebraska had the advantage in T.O.P. by 9:42.
