Minnesota Game Fanalytix Preview

Husker and Gopher recent stat trends
Fanalytix

In previous Fanalytix previews I focused on three stats; time of possession, drives over 50 yards and turnovers.

For the Illinois game last week Nebraska came up short in all three. Interactive link.

Drives: Illinois 3 - Nebraska 1
TO: Illinois 1 - Nebraska 4

If we follow the same criteria for Minnesota it does not look good for the Huskers.

For the past three games between the two teams Minnesota has the edge in TOP and drives over 50 yards. Nebraska has the edge in turnovers.

In order for Nebraska to win the game they need to close the time of possession gap and win the turnover battle again.

Here is the link to the 2022 Fanalytix graphic. Click here for the interactive version.  

It has new features to show a lot more head to head stats comparisons as well as historical results against the betting spreads. This is available for all the Power 5 NCAA football teams and the entire NFL available at the "MORE" button in the top right of the interactive version.
