Ok, so I'm in Lincoln, watching a game, eating a Runza, and the Huskers are in the red zone. I'm shouting "Go Big Red!" or "Go Huskers!", right?

 

Any other cheering options? What is the bones thing?

I don't think there are t.v.'s in most Runza.  It's a fast food restaurant.

This is the easiest way to describe it to you ATS Knight.  When you live this type of culture when these are the players you see and the type of product that was put on the field that is why we are the way we are.  This is why we want to be relevant again. Because it was fun to watch. You are only getting a taste of it this year but imagine if you had decades like this and this was the norm.  It’s something hard anyone outside if being a fan can truly understand. When you go to the games the environment is electric. Watching the videos and hearing names like (spelling) slessenger, Frazier, Berringer, mackovicka, Frost. There all reminders of a time ago when the product we see on the field today is no where near the type of product that was expected.

There is a magic about a FB blowing up a DB 25 yards down field.

Great video. The Rudy music is underutilized these days.

 

So how do we, as Nebraska fans, feel about the speed v. power shift in college football? Is the general idea that speed/spread concepts are a fad or the future?

 

Would you rather have a 42yo Osborne or Frost in 2018?

The thing is, Osborne adapted and innovated over his years here. If he stayed we wouldn't still be running his offense from the 90's. He is/was a genious and would have found new ways to attack.

 

Frost's legacy is still TBD.

All concepts like power vs speed are somewhat fads.....some just last longer than others. Offenses evolve over time. 

 

I think a lot of what we are seeing will last a long time because of player development equalization throughout college football and rule changes.

Can you expound on this please?

Rules changes have favored the high speed spread type offenses. One example is the changes in blocking rules between the 80s and now. 

 

The bigger issue though is the player development. Nebraska was the innovator in weight training and nutrition. We used to be able to load up on muscle and just flat out over power lesser programs. We simply were huge compared to them because we had that advantage. 

 

Now, not only does every college program have that, kids coming out of high school have been in the weight room and with nutrition developing physically. 

 

Can we we still be innovators in this?  Sure. But the advantage we will see will be minor compared to back then. 

 

That advantage allowed Nebraska to live more off of pure power.

Osborne himself said that if he was still coaching he would be running a spread-option offense.   He wasn't that far off from it in 1995.  If you look at how much he adjusted the offense for frost it's obvious that he had no problem adapting to his personnel and  rules changes in general.

Adapting to personnel is what excites me about Frost. We haven't had coaches willing to adjust their schemes in a long time, or at least not successfully.  Round hole, square peg gets you nowhere.
