You really have taken an odd path in this conversation.
a) You claim the coach did it wrong and it's ridiculous that you don't just line up and run the RB 4 times.
b) You claim you want Frost to remain aggressive.
c) You claim doing the conservative thing (running the ball with the RB with a full back) is the aggressive decision.
d) You claim I'm acting like I know everything and Frost should call me because I have all the answers.
c) You go back to claiming you know better than Frost because your idea worked 2 out of 3 times while quoting me saying "You can't just do that all the time".
d) Your stats show your idea doesn't work all the time.
What's REALLY odd is your apparent lack of reading comprehension, your habit of falsely quoting people, and your smart-a$$ little quips anytime anyone suggests that maybe, just maybe that our young HC might have made a mistake. Let's look at your claims point by point:
a) You claim the coach did it wrong and it's ridiculous that you don't just line up and run the RB 4 times. Read my post. First of all, I never said to run the RB. And, I never once said it was "ridiculous". I suggested, looking at in-game evidence of positive results, that IMO the QB run would have been a better choice. Here is the quote:
"I like the idea of running your 225 QB from the normal spread formation, giving him some possible angles and some room to work, and even using 200+ lb Mills as a possible lead blocker."
b) You claim you want Frost to remain aggressive. I never once mentioned "aggressive" in any of my posts in this thread. So, you are either being outright dishonest or really confused.
c) You claim doing the conservative thing (running the ball with the RB with a full back) is the aggressive decision. Again, I never once used the words "conservative" or "aggressive"' to describe the situation. And, once again, I never said "run the ball with the RB with a fullback", I suggested using the QB run, so here is another outright fabrication. Again, here is the quote:
"I like the idea of running your 225 QB from the normal spread formation, giving him some possible angles and some room to work, and even using 200+ lb Mills as a possible lead blocker."
d) You claim I'm acting like I know everything and Frost should call me because I have all the answers. You’re the one who responded with the condescending
“You obviously must have missed the number of times in the last few games we ran the ball needing a couple yards and got stuffed." , suggesting how wrong I was. So, it sure seems you are claiming that you know better, and I am the one who is "obviously missing" things.
c) You go back to claiming you know better than Frost because your idea worked 2 out of 3 times while quoting me saying "You can't just do that all the time." Frost has forgotten more about football than I will ever know, but that doesn't mean he doesn't screw up. He has admitted screwing up in his play calling earlier in the year vs Colorado and Illinois. If you actually take time to read what I wrote, I offered an opinion that another option may have been preferable, and it happens to be the same play that he used with success twice later in the game. That is all I suggested. You took issue with my post, and you offered
"You can't just do that all the time." as a reason. If it works all the time on a given opponent, then you most certainly can do it all the time. Tom Osborne built a dynasty based on this very principle of
"Do it until they stop it." And, for the record, the QB run actually worked 2 out of 2 times it was dialed up, so not sure what the "2 out of 3 times" is referring to....
d) Your stats show your idea doesn't work all the time. Not sure what "stats" you are referring to that "show your idea doesn't work all the time". The stat I quoted was that the QB run was tried twice and it worked twice in goal line situations, so not sure what in the world you are talking about. As a side note, have you seem how many times we have botched the execution of pass plays in the last few games? We have had trouble executing both phases of our Offense at times, so I fail to see why your point is a ringing endorsement for running a shovel pass on the 3 yard line.
I want to have thoughtful discussions on the Husker football program, and this board has a lot of that going on. But you seem to have a habit of overreacting when anyone criticizes Frost or the staff, you seem to like to misrepresent what people say, and it's obvious you like to fabricate lies to try and prove your point. If that's all you can come up with, please block me or ignore me, because I have no desire to engage in ridiculous debates based on lies and misrepresentations.....
