Martinez or McCaffrey: Looking at the Numbers
“Everyone’s favorite player is the backup quarterback.” This old saying has been especially true in Lincoln for about a year now.

Scott Frost called the decision of playing McCaffrey over Martinez one of the hardest decisions he has ever made.Continue reading “Martinez or McCaffrey: Looking at the Numbers”
Most Exciting Games of the Last Ten Years – Week 11
In one universe the 2020 Big Ten schedule would be in its penultimate day of games. Fortunately, we have several weeks of football left instead of today’s short schedule.

Another week in the Big Ten and more cancelled games.

Most Exciting Games of the Last 10 Years – Week 9
I debated continuing this project when the real season started. Why watch old games when real, live football is on?

Most Exciting Games of the Last Ten Years – Week 6
When the Big Ten decided to shut down its 2020 fall sports season, my friends and I wanted a way to still have a have a sample of Big Ten football since we couldn’t have the real thing. The idea we had was to “simulate” the 2020 season using historic games. To pick the gameContinue reading “Most Exciting Games of the Last Ten Years – Week 6”
Six Year Review of the Husker Offense
In college, I had a joke with a friend. Everyone in the stadium would clap with a three-yard play on 1st and 10. If the defense gives up just two more three-yard plays it is 4th and 1. The offense is looking at two plays where it can either throw or run. Football in 2020Continue reading “Six Year Review of the Husker Offense”
