[Husker] QB Rating of 218 (ranked 2nd) for WIS QB #16

I have been trying to find an edge that I can think everyone can relate to.

Last year RW led a 9-4 NC State team to a Bowl W over W VA.  Let's look at
the losses to VA Tech(H), E Carolina(a), Clemson(a) and Maryland(a); and
signature W's over Seminoles(H) and W VA(Bowl).

Here are RW's stats in big 2010 games for NC St:

------------Total--Rushing----Passing---------
OPP---------YDS----A--Y--N----C---A--TD-I--YDS

VA TECH---- 396   10-42-34   21- 49- 3- 3- 362
E CAROL---- 359   10-39-37   26- 52- 1- 3- 322
FLA ST----- 247   17-90-69   18- 28- 1- 1- 178
CLEMSON---- 241    9-50-21   22- 36- 1- 1- 212
MARYLAND--- 364   17-95-53   31- 60- 2- 1- 311
W VIRGINIA- 316   14-60-41   28- 45- 2- 0- 275
Sub-Totals-                 146-270-10-09-1660

Comparatively, in his NCAA career:
QB Rating (Rank)
141             Career-ST-- 751-1271--87--27--9681
133 (41) -      2008 - 11 - 150- 275- 17- 01- 2343 
148 (16) -      2009 - 12 - 224- 378- 31- 11- 3287
127 (62) -      2010 - 13 - 308- 527- 28- 14- 3563
218 ( 2) -      2011 -  4 -  69-  91- 11- 01- 1244

For a comparative snapshot, T-Magic has these results:
134             Career-17-- 159- 281- 14--09--2278
138 (37) -      2010 - 13 - 116- 196- 10- 07- 1631

Methinks that the Blackshirts, under the direction of Carl Pelini, will
present a formidable defensive game plan that will highlight the fact that
the gaudy 218 QB rating [ranked 2nd] was masterfully generated against much
lesser opponents. 

OK, so the numbers to remember are summarized below.

  *******************************************
  *   RW QB Rating:                         *
  *      218 - This Year                    *
  *      111 - Significant Games in 2010    *
  *      141 - Career                       *

I'm not picking on RW, because he seems to be a great leader with good
character.  UW *will* score points under his guidance.  However, I really
look 
for him to be stymied against the Blackshirts.  Knowing that the first B1G
Ten match-up was against the Badgers, Pelini had no option but to play
possum against the Husker's non-conference foes.  This will be RW's toughest
test and those that are riding his bandwagon will discontinue the calls for
a renaming of the stadium to Camp Russell. 

Now, if he somehow pulls a 30-40 evening w/4 TDs and +300 yds, then forget
that you ever read this!

Go Big Red!
