It turns out that despite a performance that had more than a few Nebraska football fans blaming the defense for missing a bowl game this season, it appears the offense should have shouldered more ire.
Data shows the defense actually had a 9.4 percent improvement in efficiency over 2018.
On the flip side, the Huskers did indeed see a rather steep drop in offensive efficiency. Last year, the Huskers' offense earned a 60.16 rating, which had them 41st in the country. This year, that rating has dropped to 49.05 and was ranked 67th in the country. Likewise, McClintock says his numbers have the Nebraska football's offensive efficiency dropping by 9.2 percent.
