Final tallies for targets, chunk plays and more in Scott Frost's first season with Huskers

Scott Frost's first season as the Nebraska head coach is in the books.

As the season went along, the Journal Star tracked several stats, including receiving targets, chunk plays, 20-plus-yard rushes and more.

Below, see some of the data. Overall, the Huskers racked up 151 "chunk" plays, defined as rushes of 10-plus yards and passes of 15-plus.

Not surprisingly, Stanley Morgan and JD Spielman dominated NU's passing targets. Nebraska threw the ball 404 times in 12 games and more than half (206) went toward either No. 8 or No. 10. Freshman back Maurice Washington finished with the third-most receiving yards and the third-most chunk plays on the team.
