[Husker] Mizzou's strength vs Our Strength

[Skylar Dodds]

I got this from a message board, I've emailed the poster in the past and he
didn't mind that I post this stuff and he came up with this today:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------ 

What's most impressive about Mizzou. What's most impressive about us.

Let's look at this....


I. The Most Impressive Thing About Mizzou: 


Blaine Gabbert's stats---some of the very best in the nation.

--No Interceptions in 131 Pass Attempts.

--66% completion rate

--Pass Efficiency Rating: 169 (#4 in the nation)



But it must be noted... Those stats were generaged in beating.... 

--#91 Illinois (1-3; Win over Illinois State)
--#100 Bowling Green (1-4; Win over Troy)
--#127 Furman (3-2; Wins over Presbyterian, Chattanoga, Western Carolina)
--#92 Nevada (1-3; Win over UNLV)


Weak Pass Defenses:


A) Percentage of Completions Allowed:

--66%: Illinois
--64%: Furman
--62%: Bowling Green
--60%: Nevada 

B) Pass Defense Efficiency Ratings:

--136: #89 in the nation (Bowling Green)
--138: #92 in the nation (Furman)
--141: #98 in the nation (Illinois)
--166: #119 in the nation (Nevada)



II. The Most Impressive Thing About Nebraska:


Pass Defense:


A) Percentage of Pass Completions Allowed: 

--50.4% (Only about a dozen teams are better: e.g., USC--49%, LSU--49%,
Alabama--49%, Florida--50%, Virginia Tech--46%.)


B) Pass Defense Efficiency Rating:

--97.7: #16 in the nation



The Bottom Line:

Young Gabbert has had a good debut.... but against weak pass defenses.

What he'll see tonight is a quantum leap better.



There you go.

Just some things to think about...
