Numbers, Statistics and Lies: Bye Week and Midseason Review

The long-promised graphs are here! The first few are how the Huskers have fared through the first seven games (eight weeks) of the season. The final color-coded pile is a comparison of 2018 and 2019 through seven games (eight weeks).

Offense

The Husker offense was starting to find a little bit of footing before running into the Buckeye buzzsaw and two good defenses in Northwestern and Minnesota. These numbers don’t tell the whole story, but their is nothing fluky or weird - Nebraska’s offense is having to work hard for every first down. They can be explosive at times, which makes these numbers look a little better than most Husker fans feel, but the struggles are real.
