1HuskerFanOutWest

I'm a graybeard in Cali and I bleed Big Red (born and raised in Nebr.). I can think of a couple of possible reasons SF stuck with AM. 1:SF himself was in a somewhat similar situation as AM (though SF had light years of potential and upside) where Husker fans grumbled a bit during SF's 1st year after replacing the great T-Frazier (big shoes to fill-no?), in fact I remember listening to a NU vs. UCF (little irony there-yeah, that UCF) game on the radio when UCF had a QB by the name of Dante Culpepper (DC). At halftime, UCF actually had the lead if I recall (DC was no joke and gave our defense a few fits!). Husker fans grumbled cuz our offense took a bit to get in gear- our "Fans" were outright rude to SF, but Dr. T.O. stuck with him (Dr. TO did let backup QB Frankie London run a series, NU scored, and SF went back in and completed the game-which NU won). So SF may be remembering that allegiance to a QB , plus- 2: maybe SF hesitated to throw Luke into the pot too soon (I personally believe Luke was the better option too, and would've done fine, but maybe Luke doesnt know the entire playbook, I dunno -I did know that AM was hampered and looked very injured to me). Couple of things I'm also way p$ssed-off are 1: playcalling was terrinle IMO: BTW, SF doesn't call the majority of the plays- his OC does. I believe that SF will eventually call all of the plays, IMO it's the only way to get a feel for the defense. I know I'm a greybeard and yearn for the 'old belly-trap, counter, outside zone, outside toss (I could go on, I have old OL coach Milt Tennipor's excellent book), I KNOW they can be run out of the "spread" and would help our OL cuz it's going downhill instead of dropping back so much. Beside's ain't nothing wrong with getting under center no? We ran a series against Buckeyes, and while it didn't look close (to me-to the days of TF and SF) they did move down the field so fast the Buckeyes had to call a timeout-and still didnt stop it, AM stopped it on a ill-aimed pass. Then we abandoned it! I have more questions, like why don't we please change the snap signal from "Cheerio" or whatever the word is? Watch in Slo-Mo, Those DL's are just teeing off on that word like they're calling the snap signal. Do we need guys like that monster DE (Chase Young) the Buckeyes' have, do we need to give any DL's an early start? I have about 10 more questions but I'll save them-I feel all Husker Fans pain today. Maybe next year-GBR baby!
