Since we play Nebraska this week, it is worth calling out their 79.2% number. Almost all of that success has come against the weaker competition.

In their last three games (all losses), Nebraska got into the redzone a total of 6 times, scoring only 4 times (three of them touchdowns -- one against IU and two against Oregon). They only got into redzone one time last week, and did not score.

Hopefully that downward trend continues and they get 0 trips to redzone this week.
