a lot of talk about how many yards the offense is putting up - despite this we have yet to score 30 points in a game

We rank 126th in yards per point - the worst power 5 team and only 4 teams rank lower in div 1

It is not a perfect metric but the offense to date is inefficient.

19.8 yards per point - 15 yards per point in 2017

I stated in another thread that the offensive "success" comes when they are already at "arms length" away. I'd love to see them get off to a good start. I feel if they could, the offense would be much more efficient and productive. They need some confidence and prosperity, not the constant state of adversity.

Be curious to see where we stand on number of fourth downs per game if they keep that stat.

What's also a factor is starting field position due to our special teams and defense being so bad.

Well I meant total number of 4th downs. Not sure if anyone tracks that.

I knew we weren't very successful and 10 attempts on 4th down sounds about right

Does this work for you?

63 third down plays on the year.

Converted 20 to first down
Punted 26 times
FG attempts 7 times
Went for it 9 times.

That leaves 1 extra, could have been a situation where the game ended or the half ended on 3rd down.

Thanks. Not expecting you to know or do the leg work, but curious if we rank near the bottom in total 4th downs as well.

Don't know if that is a stat or IF anything can be derived from it.

Penalties are killling our chances of scoring points. Heck on most of our scoring drives, we have to overcome penalties.

If anyone has any free time, it would be interesting to see how many yards/points that were negated by penalties so far this year on offense and defense.

For instance, just last week, NU had a long kickoff return and a long run negated due to a block in the back and a holding call. Curious as to how the other 50+ penalties changed the outcome of drives.

The block in the back on JD’s long screen was a killer. Went into half down 20-3 instead of 13-10.

These are the kinds of things that are at the heart of why I am not that worried. Penalties at key times, freshman playing like freshman in some positions, and the difference of making a play and letting it slip are areas I just think eventually get cleaned up.

We saw glimpses of what is to come Saturday. Wisc really had no answer for Mo, for example. They kept putting a slow LB on him and Mo just made him look foolish. JD across the middle and a long TD are another example. When things are clicking, we will put up a ton of points.

A lot of this has to do with AM and his decision making. He is a true frosh in a complicated offense. He makes rookie kinds of mistakes. He will get better.

I guarantee penalties are the reason. We clean those up and our points go way up.

We are last in penalties per game at #130, but not sure that tells the whole story since you have these teams ranked low also: Michigan #119, Ohio State #117, Texas #100, Georgia #95, Alabama at #70

So it can't just be penalties.

Very true I was maybe thinking it was the variety of penalties. Obviously if a team get 8 or 9 penalties a game but majority are 5 yards vs 8 or 9 and they are 15 yards. That makes a big difference. Mich is averaging 78 ypg. Ohio St is around 80. So they are not too far off from us. Not sure. Thought maybe RZ conversion rate, but we are better than Ohio St and just below Mich .

I doubt penalties alone are the reason but not all penalties are equal. Timing probably plays more of a role than the penalty itself.

Any concerns that we only have two running backs to speak of right now with in season experience and that Washington has yet to score a touchdown and sometimes our game plan completely takes Ozigbo out of the picture? We need more balance between rushing and receiving touchdowns.

Our defense is giving up drive after drive....you only get so many posessions when you cant get stops.

Penalties are killing us on both sides of the ball which is effecting our posessions and ability to score points.

Exactly, I was talking about this to a guy at work. You have over 500 yds. 3x and you can't break 30 points. The offense isn't efficient. Alot ot bad field position, but we need a heavy set, and alot of situalational practice with it. Have to get a yard, when you need it. Have we made a 4th and 1?

The efficiency of the offense is terrible, but it has to do with the penalties and to a lesser extent the starting field position. I know Frosts teams have been highly penalized. Not throwing shade, but we operate at a deficit to teams like OhioState. We have to be better as far as penalties.

Chins was lamenting the lack of turnovers in his iteration of his defense at Nebraska. He recognized publicly that he goes aga6a spread team in practice, so he'll have to figure out how to go against a pro set.

I'm all about Frost. He's here til he dec6ro leave. Fire Chins now. F***k Iowa and their coaching tree Hayden is legendary in Ioaa and K Ferentz has a better winning percentage of just north of 7.5.

Disco and Chins, done with rejects from Iowa or Wisconsin. Sell that **** somewhere else. Offense will be better than good.

You believe Chinander will field a successful defense. I would like you to define a successful defense...

I'll hang up and breathlessly wait for your reply.

That's just it. I don't know if Chinander will ever field a good defense. And if he's not capable of fielding a good defense, what's the point of keeping him around?
