How on earth can he be agreeing with you if you didn't say it?
Unless perhaps it was the only reason for the thread? Did you study with Goebbels?

You'll have to ask him about that...as I pointed out, I didn't say it.
LOL, I certainly have you trained like Pavlov's critters. Not only don't I have to say something, i don't even have to imply, infer, or insinuate it, and you guys just know it to be true. I suspect you know deep inside.....
PS--I suppose I should be flattered

Given the system we run, offensively and defensively, penalties are gonna happen.
Take away the turnovers, and we beat UCLA, and possibly Georgia in 2012.
Fix the tackling issues and we might have been undefeated.
IMO, fixing the penalties is third priority at best.

Please expound.
Oh, never-mind... I thought you said flattened. :stickouttongue:

Offensively we run a lot of plays out on the perimeter and also we pass a lot both of which have a higher percentage of penalties, like holding and clipping. Furthermore, the high octane pace almost guarantees more false starts and illegal formation penalties.
Defensively, our defensive backs are taught to jam receivers and be aggressive which means more defensive pass interference. Basically, Bo has set up his system to eliminate short passes and force quarterbacks to beat them with the deep throws (Aaron Murray was able to put deep passes exactly where they needed to be and thus torch our defense repeatedly).
They do? According to the official 2012 statistics they rushed the ball 662 times and threw 378 times for a 63.7% to 36.3% rush to pass ratio...not exactly Air Coryell type numbers. Also, when I think of high octane paced offenses Oregon and OU come to mind - not sure if NU is in that category yet.
They are? Are you replaying game tape from 2009 and 2010?

agree with you totally, especially offensively, a faster ran offense, more plays dictates more penalties overall (&we did have too many), but also guys are spread out all over the field, going fast & can jump easier......probably why the high scoring/yardage offenses like baylor/oregon are also near the top of the penalties.....visually, if a team is stacked in close running a lot of pitch plays, RB up the middle, taking their time, they wouldn't seem to have the perpencity to jump as much......
it would be interesting, & I have no facts/research on it, but I'd bet a pretty good % of our penalties would be linemen jumping as we're going fast, Tmart shouting play changes in crowd noise, etc......
Does that 36% take into account sacks and scrambles?
In any case Martinez and Beck are on record as saying they want to pass more this year. They said basically the same thing last fall as well. That's going to mean more penalties.
Just because our defensive backs want as good at jamming receivers this year doesn't mean it's not what they were trying to do. If I remember correctly, Wisconsin only ran 5 pass plays in the title game. By contrast Oklahoma and Texas passed probably 40 times each in the 2009-2010 title games. I'm not going to find the link but I remember reading The Braska had far more pass interference penalties than any other Big 10 team, and Bo is on record as saying that while he doesn't condone the penalties, he understands that our aggressive style of play is going to mean that the ref's will call more defensive pass interference.

In any event, my main point was that we are always going to have more penalties than a team like Alabama because of the spread offense we run as opposed to the plodding, power-run based offense Alabama runs.
Just curious, is that the same description you would give for the last 3 Nebraska NC teams? I don't think our past offenses were plodding, nor do I see Bama that way.
