[Husker] Ouch!

It is worth discussing, but while I'm not a big Watson supporter I did
ponder whether this was a reasonable analysis. If we went back and picked
Osborne's worst games and analyzed the offensive numbers in the same way, I
think the result might be very similar.

In that light I'm not to sold on this article as it seems more like bulletin
board message material than something he put much thought into. Now if
Chatelain had gone back and over the last three years and pulled out some
quantitatively derived opinions it might have been more interesting.
Analyzing third down and comparing when Watson passes or rushes plus the
effectiveness of both would also have been interesting.

But I don't think we need a statistical breakdown to have dark opinions
about the Big 12 championship offensive plan :)

I think Shatel's article was simpler and more to the point "* it was like
the offense was based on the 80-yard run. Where was Plan B?*".

With that in mind, the NCAA stats web site says that Martinez did not rush
for another TD after Kansas State nor throw another TD after the Missouri
game? Honestly I don't know if I trust my eyes on that one so here is the
link to see if it looks the same to better eyes

So back to Shatel's point, I truly wonder if there was a plan b.
