    No offense, but some of those "stats" are pretty meaningless.

    Take Taylor Martinez' record before October. 12-1.

    First of all, Nebraska has played 2 road games in the last three years before October and lost one of them (UCLA).

    The other was against a horrific Washington team.

    Some of the teams Nebraska has played prior to October:

    Idaho
    South Dakota State
    Arkansas State
    Idaho State
    Chattanooga
    Western Kentucky
    Southern Miss (Finished 0-12)
    Wyoming
    Fresno State

    Not exactly murderer's row, right?

    Jeff, you need to couple stats with winners. If stats correlated with winning picks I'd give u ups, player. Give us some winning stats!
