This is Nebraska. People will be banging that drum until the cows come home. Any OC worth his salt should be looking at this offense and trying to think of ways to get the ball into the hands of Carter, Reilly, Morgan, Westerkamp, etc.

Flowchart:

Did NU win a Natty?

Yes: Passing was OK I guess.

No: Run the Damn Ball!

I did like the UCLA blueprint. I liked the Michigan State game, too, though. I'm excited to see what Langs has in store this year.

 

 

Michigan State game through the first drive of the fourth quarter: 32 runs, 24 passes - 57% rushing

 

I'd be just fine with that game plan as well. I don't think it was all that much different from the UCLA game plan. MSU was #11 in the country against the run while UCLA was #98 so we ended up passing more against MSU but we actually tried to run the ball against MSU and had pretty good success at it.

 

Pretty sure that was one of the highest rushing games MSU gave up all year. So it also kind of shoots down the notion that we could only run against bad rush defenses.

 

And Nebraska was still down 31-26 at that point, soooooooo........

 

Why do so many think that a transfer from Tulane of all places, apparently not good enough to win and keep the job there, should suddenly beat out all of our other QBs for the job after one redshirt year in the program? What has he done?

not much, no one was clamoring for his services either.

 

BS. He also visited LSU, before deciding on Nebraska, and would have plenty of suitors had Nebraska not jumped on him quickly and got him.

The guy has started 19 games at the FBS level, it doesn't matter if it was Tulane. You're obviously not going to get that kind of experience anywhere else on the roster once Tommy graduates. Saying he's definitely going to start over O'Brien in 2017 is also ignorant, nobody has any clue how that competition will work out next year. All I know is that Nebraska's quarterback room for 2017 is more talented with Lee in it rather than without

It's not a conspiracy theory.

 

Let's take it out of the Husker context: we know for a fact that offer lists are often inaccurate. There are a million reasons people don't feel a need or desire to "correct" them.

 

Let me tell you a real scenario: kid gets correspondence from U of X. He communicates to recruiting "reporters" that he has an offer letter (maybe just to visit unofficially or in a camp). Maybe he even explains he's received some calls during the evaluation process. Through the telephone game, that becomes a reported offer.

 

At which point there's no value to anyone in correcting that.

 

Note, nothing nefarious motivates that errant reporting, except maybe by some recruitniks who want to goose the click throughs.

Why are you trying to put down a Nebraska recruit, and calling him a liar?????

Really? You're going to judge a kid on 30 seconds of footage and make assumptions that he doesn't want to be there because of his facial expressions?

A - Jordan Spieth

B - Jason Day

C - Angel Cabrera

Projected Cut: +8

Here's the tweet he deleted:

Guy is a big friggin douche. I really hope guys like Tyjon Lindsey are taking note of this sh#t.

Big props to the coaching staff for getting all these recruits to visit early. See you guys, it's not a near impossibility after all.

He'll mess around with schools throughout the fall and ultimately end up at Cal.

Ohio State's alternates for 2016?

 

 

"New Turf in Tom Osborne field"

 

Wishful thinking ..... I like to tear down fake turf and replace with natural, beautiful, nice odor, less nagging injuries (i.e. T-Mart, Helu & some more), cool and soft grass surface. Unfortunately I believe only four B1G home venues played in natural grass .... Michigan St, Penn St, Northwestern and Purdue. Only four .... why?

 

Why? Because October, November and December in the Big 10:

 

 

 

Snow is a part of football. Anyway, Denver Broncos, Green Bay, Chicago Bears, Eagles, Steelers and some more played in natural grass.

 

Yep and all of those fields often look like sh#t by the end of the season, and are a big time injury hazard.

Here's our 2018 QB. He'll be N.

 

So now we are upset that the guys playing are the ones that fit the coach's system not the one we want them to run.

 

Makes perfect sense.

 

Well, the coaches' system led the nation in interceptions, was a big part of having a 6-7 record and was admitted by the coaches that they probably should have been doing things differently during the year.

 

So ..... yeah.

 

^Boliever

I think it would be hilarious if Riley gave the same 10 wins no excuses slogan Dan Hawkins gave. And then went 3-9 like Hawkins did.

YEAH THAT WOULD BE SOOOOOO FUNNY LOLZLOLZLOLZ

Pickett's not announcing

Frank's gone, Bo's gone. Get over it. Mike Riley is here. If you don't want to support him and the program, the go find another team to cheer for.

Visiting next weekend.

 

 

Pelini's outbursts and facial expressions were very traumatizing. Not sure if we'll ever get over it without counseling.

 

My son is 12 years old, and he still makes me check for Bo Pelini under his bed or in his closet before he can sleep at night.

I think it's amusing when Pelini defenders think Pelini detractors took his actions personally, or were in any way shocked and traumatized by his outbursts.

 

Most of us just thought the guy was acting like a dick.

 

In all seriousness, I also have a 12 year old son. He'd been watching a lot of Nebraska games with me in 2014, and finally said: "Dad, I know how much you love Nebraska football, but I really don't like that coach."

 

You know why Shawn Eichorst really fired Bo Pelini?

 

Yes. For the children.

I'm more of a hyperbole/mischaracterization debunker than a Pelini defender, but feel free to keep mischaracterizing me if that helps to amuse you. I don't think it was necessary to fire him, but I understand why some reasons were given. I don't miss his antics, and I don't think all Pelini detractors were affected personally, but some sure do act like they were. Some are so affected they become delusional. Hell, I still come across people who honestly believe contact was made when he swung his hat at the official.

 

. Whether it did or didn't hit the ref, you're OK with a coach doing that? Ho-Lee Sheet. Throwing a tantrum as 40-something year old and swinging your hat at the ref is embarrassing af. Actually, looking back I kind of wish he would have caught the official in the face with it, could have fired that jagoff the next day instead of waiting a year.

Delaware?!?

GBR!

 

I would like to see a quote of Mike Riley saying that week to week the system will completley change and packages that the team is unfamiliar with will be added.

 

I think it's obvious who is reading into something too much.

 

Not week to week. He said they are borrowing things from Kiffen and Turner that they saw this offseason (e.g., installing new packages of screen plays because Alabama used short perimeter passing against MSU). Langs also specifically said that he's putting in different packages for each of the WRs based on what they do well.

 

It's an extraordinarily "matchup" driven way of calling an offense versus a "system" based version. Two different philosophies. That's all.

 

 

There may be a deeper issue, though, and that is what are RIley's "core plays"? What is Lang's and his offensive philosophy?

 

I challenge anyone to lay out what those are, and an inability to do so is troubling.
