Numbers, Statistics and Lies: Ohio State Edition

What a difference a week makes.

The Huskers had a loud primetime crowd and a houseful of recruits. Ohio State kindly allowed the Nebraska offense to have the ball first as they deferred their choice to the second half.

In the first half, the Husker offense got seven possessions. Three of the first four ended in interceptions. The drive chart listed interception, punt, interception, interception, punt, punt, punt. One of those possessions was two plays and lasted nine seconds.

We could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

On defense, things were not any better.
