Zone Read Against Wisconsin

UNLV has over 100 yds on the ground right now and they're running the zone read with a lot of success. Granted, it's only the first week, but you gotta love this if you're a husker fan! :cheers

 
Yeah UNLV is finding holes to run through all over the place. That defense looks tired from keeping up good sign for us hopefully.

 
Wisconsin looks slow as hell on D. If any Husker finds some green, he'll take it to the house against these slow white guys. Wow. I had Madison marked as an 'L' on the schedule, but no longer...

It'll still be very tough, but Nebraska has a much better shot than I originally thought.

 
They haven't even played 30 mins of football yet. Hold the phone people. We haven't even played either. Wisky will be plenty tough.

I don't think anyone's getting out of hand :P

It's the only thing we have to go on, so we're going on it.

Correct, BUT it only takes about 5 seconds to see speed. And when you have 20 different 5-second increment in which you see Wisconsin getting BURNED by UNLV, you can go ahead and start talking about it. No one has said NU will blow them out. Just observing that Wiscy is not showing any speed on the edge right now.

 
People who form one game opinions about a team drive me nuts. Seriously. It was like last fall when Taylor was running all swiss cheese through the little sisters of the poor defenses that he gashed. Let's see how much some of these opinions change in a month. My bet is a lot.

I don't know about anyone else, but in no way am I saying after watching one half we can assume Wisconsin will be a .500 team. They're up 37-3 at half and their offense looks unstoppable. However, it is undeniable that they are lacking speed on the edge of the defense. If you wanted one thing in an opposing defense, a lack of speed would be pretty high on the wish list for NU. I find that exciting.

 
I doubt that Nebraska will run as much zone read this year... And I HIGHLY doubt they'll use the pistol.
