Numbers, Statistics and Lies: Troy Edition

Panic? Hope? None of the above? There is a lot of noise and not a lot of signal in this week’s stats.

Has reality hit yet? Those of us that secretly harbored hopes of an instant turnaround had our dreams smashed when Troy manhandled our offensive line and took advantage of our pass defense. Yes, Nebraska was starting its backup walk-on quarterback – third string if Gebbia hadn’t transferred – fourth string if Noah Vedral had been ruled eligible this season…

I tried to paint myself as a realist. I wasn’t going to set unrealistic expectations. My public statements were all about tempering expectations and patience. And yet, I succumbed to the secret idea that Nebraska would turn this around quickly. I never expressed it out loud prior to this article. You now have my confession and I will go say however many “Hail Devaney’s” are required to make penance.
