With the reported hiring of Tim Beck, I posted the offensive stats from Nebraska during Beck's tenure (2010-2014). Some bring up the relevant point that Tom Herman's numbers at Iowa State weren't that impressive and we should look at what he has done at Ohio State.

With that in mind, let's look at Tom Herman's performance at Ohio State (2012-2014) and compare it to his time at Iowa State (2009-2011).

Below I will compare Herman's 2014 numbers at Ohio State to his 2011 numbers at Iowa State. 2013 Ohio State will be compared to 2012 Iowa State and 2012 Ohio State to 2009 Iowa State.

+ Better at Ohio State
- Better at Iowa State

I am hopeful that coaching at Ohio State will have a similar effect on Tim Beck.
