Some scary statistics

I wish I could claim I did the research for the subsequent information, but I did not.  All of this comes from the this article.

Here's a recap of the offensive statistics:

In the last month, Nebraska's offense is 0-44 on scoring a touchdown when starting in their own territory.  They are 3-44 on scoring any points (3 field goals)

Overall, against all BCS teams, Nebraska's offense has gone 2-68 on scoring a touchdown when starting in their own territory (interestingly, both came in the 4th quarter vs. Missouri).  The next closest BCS team is 5 (Vanderbilt).  Even my school, Washington State University, has scored touchdowns 6 times from their own territory (and they a dismal squad of "football" players).

These numbers certainly are alarming.  However, the defense is almost the exact opposite!  11 of the 12 Big 12 teams have allowed a conference foe to cross midfield and score a touchdown in each contest.  Nebraska is the outlier, the Blackshirts haven't allowed an offensive touchdown drive of over 50 yards 3 times (Missouri, Baylor, Oklahoma).

Ultimately, the Huskers are still in the race.  They can turn the offense around, and I promise you Husker fans, it will happen soon.
