I’m admittedly an AM apologist. And frankly believe that a lot of our skill players could actually perform if our offensive line played even a smidge better. My God our o-line is atrocious.
Two stats to pay close attention to:
Stuff Rate: Nebraska’s ballcarriers are stopped at or behind the line of scrimmage on 22% of their runs. Almost 1 out of every 4
Passing down sack rate: Nebraska QB’s are sacked on just over 15% of their passing plays on passing downs.

Run-blocking stats
- Line Yards per Carry: For 2018, we are experimenting with a new definition for college line yardage based on film study and generalization. Instead of the ALY figure FO used for the NFL, this one is tighter: the line gets credit for rushing yardage between 0-3 yards (instead of 0-4) and 50% credit for yards 4-8 (instead of 5-10). Anything over 8 yards is quantified as a highlight opportunity, and credit goes to the runner. As with the pro definition, lost yardage still counts for 125%. (Garbage time is filtered out for all line yardage averages.) Nebraska 112th out of 130
- Standard Downs Line Yards per Carry: The raw, unadjusted per-carry line yardage for a team on standard downs (first down, second-and-7 or fewer, third-and-4 or fewer, fourth-and-4 or fewer). Nebraska 109 out of 130
- Passing Downs Line Yards per Carry: The same unadjusted averages for rushing on passing downs. Nebraska 106 out of 130
- Opportunity Rate: The percentage of carries (when four yards are available) that gain at least four yards, i.e. the percentage of carries in which the line does its job, so to speak. Nebraska 100th out of 130
- Power Success Rate: This is the same as on the pro side -- percentage of runs on third or fourth down, two yards or less to go, that achieved a first down or touchdown. Nebraska 33rd out of 130
- Stuff Rate: Same as STUFFED on the pro side -- percentage of carries by running backs that are stopped at or before the line of scrimmage. Nebraska 22% 105th out of 130.
Pass-blocking stats - Sack Rate: Unadjusted sack rate for all non-garbage time pass attempts. Nebraska 8.8% 106th out of 130
- Standard Downs Sack Rate: Unadjusted sack rate for standard downs pass attempts. Nebraska 50th out of 130
- Passing Downs Sack Rate: Unadjusted sack rate for passing downs pass attempts. Nebraska 15.1% 119th out of 130
