You make a good point. We agree. I think deliberate was exactly the word that could have summed up what I was trying to say. I gotta go back and re-watch that USC game and just look for all the differences, but there was a flow we hadn't seen before.Tommy's best game -- which would have been a good day for any quarterback -- was the uptempo and deliberate game Beck called against USC in the Holiday Bowl, having been liberated from Bo Pelini's rhythm killing sideline play calling and lack of faith in the offense. One interception, no fumbles, few penalties and 30 more offensive plays than average. And a neat little two point conversation executed swiftly and precisely before USC knew what hit them.
That was the last game we saw Tommy Armstrong play, and it came after four weeks of chaos on the Nebraska football team.
So I'm gonna stay optimistic that the difference between Good Tommy and Bad Tommy isn't that far off, and the template is already in place.
We need to be more deliberate and I think that's exactly what we'll be.
That's the Tommy we need, and if he plays anything like that in a huddling, time consuming offense that converts third downs and puts together long drives - we have very legitimate chances for competing for this division and the Conference.
