Although the rhetoric from the staff is that "this offense takes what the defense gives them," I don't think that's what's actually been going on in the last four games. 

It seems like Frost has intentionally worked towards the bolded starting with Wisconsin. And it has worked. 

In our first four games we tried a lot of inside zone running with a bit of QB run sprinkled in there in the first half. The first quarter in all of our last four games has looked much better than the first four. The quick edge passes start to soften up the running lanes after just one touchdown drive, love how Frost has been doing that. And we have a quarterback that can zip those passes in there quickly with good arm strength; that's another reason it has been working so well.

And on that note...how strong is 2AM's arm going to be two seasons from now???? Holy cow.

Against Bethune Cookman, NU was limited in the run game, because they didn't want to utilize Martinez running the ball.  They wanted to limit his hits, so they didn't have any designed QB runs or even read options for Martinez.  NU was going to pile up yards and points either way against BC with the first team offense.  Frost chose to do it with the pass, especially when they realized Morgan and Spielman could get big plays in the passing game.

Agree. Big difference. As you see Martinez throw those quick edge passes perfectly, you're reminded of Tommy Armstrong lacking the touch to complete the same passes, and Tanner Lee taking the same call, waiting too long, and turning an edge pass into a Pick Six. This is a popular offense in the NFL right now, but it needs the right talent. Scott Frost knew Adrian Martinez was his guy from the beginning.

 
Well on this day in 1908 Nebraska got beat pretty soundly by 'the Carlisle' Indians!

The Carlisle Indians football team represented the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in intercollegiate football competition. The program was active from 1893 until 1917, when it was discontinued. During the program's 25 years, the Indians compiled a 167–88–13 record and 0.647 winning percentage, which makes it the most successful defunct major college football program. During the early 20th century, Carlisle was a national football powerhouse, and regularly competed against other major programs such as the Ivy League schools. Several notable players and coaches were associated with the team, including Pop Warner and Jim Thorpe.
