[Husker] Interesting stats

[Andrew Smith]

Not trying to be negative.  I do think the team is heading in the right 
direction.  These stats just jumped out at me.

Drives of more than 3 plays: Nebraska 4, Michigan 9 !!!
First Downs: Nebraska 16, Michigan 23
Yards: Nebraska 318, Michigan 400
Penalties: Nebraska 9-76, Michigan 6-49
Yet, Nebraska manages to score 4 TDs and a FG!

Big plays by Nebraska, Michigan's missed FG at the end of the 1st qrtr, 
and Michigan's 4qrtr turnovers were the keys.  (I'd include key 
calls/non-calls by the officials, but I did not see the game so I can't 
really say they didn't balance out).

One of the biggest positives from this game was the better rushing 
performance.  Nebraska needs its offense to be more balanced in 2006 and 
this game is a step in that direction.
