We know he is still going to be on the payroll, he is out recruiting. He was the def coord at air force before he came here so he has the experience and knows our team. Maybe Frost will be the head coach and have him as the def coord? Thoughts?

A plane did land in Lincoln early this morning from Ohio. It was from Cincinnati but it still could be Tressel. Im assumming he lives in Youngstown and Cincinnati is 300 miles from there. Who knows.... http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightStatus/flightStatusByFlight.do?id=470045193&airline=UJC&flightNumber=29&departureDate=2014-11-29

After watching yesterdays game I noticed almost every(?) snap with TA we lined up in either the shotgun or pistol formation. When Fyfe was in for his one or two drives we ran the I formation or with a single back. Why do we not call these kinds of play with TA, Abdullah, and Cross? Why do we always have 5 linemen to block when we are in the shotgun? Why not throw a TE in to help block since Abdullah wasnt able to block. Maybe with an extra TE blocking Abdullah could be a check down and he could get into open space. That is where he is best, for example...he was checkdowns in the miracle NW game last year and the game winning reception against Mcneese St. Why do we not play to our player strengths? It seems to me Beck is calling similar plays that were designed for Martinez. He didnt really change anything on offense this year. I will give him credit were it is due in some areas but he is hurting this team. It seems he is almost to afraid to run the I formation. Even against Purdue we were on the goaline and lined up pistol which led to TA's fumble and Abdullahs injury. We are supposed to have big huge linemen (except the center, Pelini) and I am not sure why we dont use them to run with, especially on the goal line. Even before halftime yesterday we gave up on offense, Beck calling passing plays like we were down 100-0. We saw against Miami how good our run game could be. Our defense was still allowing points but our run offense kept Miami off the field which led to fewer points by them. We need to control the game clock and not have a 3-n-out drive with 2 or 3 passes. Pounding away with Abullah and Cross will lead to wins and I am not sure why we do not utilize them in more of a run offense. They are perfect counters for each other. Abudullah hit the outside and Cross smash it up the middle. Our offense just needs to be simple but for now it is to complicated even though the coaches made it "easier" this year. We need an identity and I do not think Becks 50/50 playbook is good for Nebraska. It might be good for Kansas or some other passing school. Granted Abdullah, Bell, Martinez, and others broke offensive records under his playbook, the overall concept doesn't mesh well with Nebraska football. I am not saying he needs to be fired or Pelini but it could help. Hopefully they can figure it out before it costs them their jobs.

Why not? He beat us last year and he gave ohio state a hard time today. His teams have always gotten better and has some decent wins under his belt. With the rights tools, recruiting and facilities, he could do some major work here I believe. If he was HC, recruiting for him would be much better than Minnesota, which will only make his teams better. If he beats us next week then we need to take a very hard look in the mirror.....
