[Husker] OWH article on offense stats

[jon johnston]

Well.... he's also comparing last year (whole) to this year part. Last  
year at this time, we were at 4-3. The offense had started playing  
very well (Texas Tech game where we held the ball for 40 minutes), but  
we were still 4-3.

There's still time for us to have a good season. Keep the faith, it's  
Thursday!

It bugs me these regular media guys don't give a source for their  
stats. I looked at something from the Waco Tribune yesterday where the  
guy was throwing out some stats, and it was clear they came from cfbstats.com 
.
