Redzone defense: Northwestern 60th nationally; Nebraska 92nd nationally

So, neither team is any good on offense in the redzone. Northwestern plays better redzone defense.

Could this game end in Nebraska trying to score a touchdown in the last seconds in the redzone and they can't convert to win? Or will it be the defense not able to get a redzone stop to win?

Greg Schiano talked about the Big Ten today. It is true out East and it is true out West, including this one.

8 of the last played in this series have come down to be one possession games..

Nebraska has played in plenty of one possession games lately.

How about compare the statistics against the one like opponent rather than those opponents that have nothing in common?

I predict Nebraska wins the battle of stats again. I have no idea who wins the game.

Sadly either team could win. Nebraska could whip the Nerds off the field with a 24 point win or lose by 10 points. You never know what the dumb penalties are going to be, what ****** mistakes are going to happen that could lead to Northwestern points or Nebraska not being able to score, etc.

The history of this game is a one drive game so I'm not deviating away from that until the results on the field show otherwise.

I wouldn't be shocked if this is a 13-10 type of game or a 27-24 type of game.

Tuco, I'm afraid that just wouldn't fit the minnesota fan's narrative, so you'll have to do that yourself

also, I think @antirowboat blocked me for calling his minnesota fandom out early & often. what a shame & very soft if true!

Heard an interesting stat that PJ Fleck is 28-21 and the guy previous was that same record through the first 49 games. That's also factoring in his 11 win season, so maybe the dude isn't as elite as he thinks he is.

From ESPN's FPI unit efficiency rankings (Offense/Defense/Special Teams out of 130 teams):
Northwestern (106/59/39)
Nebraska (43/19/124)
We are significantly better on O and D, and significantly worse in ST.

But you already knew that, didn't you?

The only surprise there is that there are six teams worse than us on special teams.

That is shocking! Perhaps those six teams are so good Offensively they didn’t need to use their Special Teams?

I know I’m grasping at straws but statistics be damned I can’t imagine those six teams having a worse ST than ours. Our ST have singlehandedly lost two games for sure this year. No telling how much damage they can do with 7 more games left to go smh!
