Nebraska Becoming Wide Receiver U?

[Mavric]

Some serious cobwebs could get wiped off a certain page in the Nebraska football record book.

 

Season receiving: Johnny Rodgers, 942 yards, 1972.

 

Single-game receiving: Matt Davison, 167 yards vs. Texas A&M, 1998.

 

Single-game receptions: Dennis Richnafsky, 14 vs. Kansas State, 1967.

 

Season receptions: Marlon Lucky, 75, 2007.

 

Even the most recent entries — Kenny Bell’s 2,689 receiving yards and 181 receptions for a career — may have their days numbered.

 

Why? Because it looks like Nebraska is becoming Receiver U.

Needs to be QB U first! and run the damn ball!

Ill never understand why people get their panties in a wad about this run/pass stuff.

 

Frankly, I don't care whether we are 90/10 or 50/50. While a balanced offense tends to be better, as long as we are moving the ball and scoring, I don't care and neither should anybody else.

I'm excited for what our offense is evolving into. There's not a lot of teams in the BIG especially in the West that will be able to cover our wideouts in the near future!

TBH I am a "Move the damn ball," guy. But good QB play is key to the WR being successful.

I think a lot of us will be surpised by Lee this year if our line can protect him.

In addition, some people tend to think (or appears to operate under the assumption) that balance refers to 50/50. That's not always the case. I think you can be a balanced offense but still run or pass 60 percent of time.

 

I have a feeling 'run the ball' guy is not going to be satisfied this year, particularly since this offense uses a lot of screens to act as glorified run plays.

 

I don't mind a pass friendly offense so long as they can still run when the need to. If you're passing because you can't run then that's a problem.

I am confused. Yes, Ohio State wanted Tyjon Lindsey and I am guessing they would have taken Cameron Brown but when did Brown "juked back from Ohio State to NU."? It is a great narrative but Brown never committed to OSU nor did he give any indication that he was going to pick OSU. One WR class does not make a trend. Especially when one of the three recruits from the class isn't even on campus anymore.

 

Calling yourself Receiver U is cute but it doesn't mean much if you aren't getting guys drafted.

I keep watching this thinking a LB will come from the right side of the screen and blow him up.....

Do you understand the word "becoming"

[Guy Chamberlin]

You still have to come up with a lot of stories in the off-season, and each one needs a catchy headline.

 

This is one of those.

 

I don't know what the final ratio will be, but I'll bet Nebraska has more rushing attempts this season than the last two.
