[Husker] Gameplan/Matchup (Very Long, like usual)

[Scott R Lawson]

Does Texas get many sacks? I know they have a great run defense but I always take rushing stats in college with a grain of salt since I believe sack yardage is deducted from rushing totals, but I could be mistaken. So, if teams are getting yardage and then give up 3-4 10 yeard sacks, it looks a lot worse than it really is. Of course, they are still losing 10 yards a pop...

Hello Husker Fans,

  I for one hope that we don't "stubbornly" try to run the ball.
  Texas's running defense is not just good, it's great. They're #2 in
  the nation in rush defense for a reason. Here's a breakdown of
  yardage of their opponents:

  Team      Att       Yds        Avg
  N. Tex    28        8          .3
  OSU       29        79         2.7
  Rice      20        -11        -.6
  ISU       27        21         .8
  Sam Hou   25        87         3.5
  OU        36        124        3.6
  Baylor    11        27         2.5

  TOTAL     176       334        1.9

  Yikes, that's some defense. Plus, the've only allowed 3 touchdowns
  from the ground. Wow. Granted, some of these teams aren't very good,
  but some are.  Oklahoma is 25th in the nation in rushing, Ohio St is
  44th.
