All-Conference
You do realize that two of the losses in 2008 were because this terrific offense did nothing. Take the Missou game was it the defenses fault that this mighty offense that averaged 35 points could only score 10 points in the first three quarters and then get a meaningless score in the 4th.¿qué pasa?I hope not otherwise Nerbaska will never ever sniff a conference championship let alone a National championship.Really think that the offense we saw in '08 is the offense we will strive too be every year. Next year I see the running game and Wildcat take the place of all those short throws that Ganz did with Swift and Peterson. Biggest problems with the offense this year were o-line depth/injury problems and inconsistent WR and QB play. Our No. 1 was too inconsistent and out no. 2 and 3 dropped off a cliff and by the time we brought in new players to replace them we went to our vanilla offense.
This has been hashed and rehashed but as long as our O-line stays healthy, our WRs don't drop passes, and our QBs can be somewhat accurate against the top flight teams. I see our offense not having the same problems we had this year because of the amount of experience we are returning.
You realize that our offense scored 35 points per game in 2008, si? With that offense and this defense, there isn't a team in all the land we couldn't beat.
Now if the claim that this is the kind of offense that everyone wants then they should have been able to go score for score against a team that defense was really not overwhelming especially at home.
In the Oklahoma game I guess it's great that the offense outscored OU 28 to 27 in the final three quarters. To bad that there's a first quarter or this would be the greatest offense ever. :sarcasm
