It doesn't have anything to do with offensive scheme. It has everything to do with players and execution. Any offense will work with the right players that execute. Having said that, I still think that the enduring offense more closely resembles the power-I set. Years from now, that set will still be run. Just gets some 350-lb. o-linemen and go.
NU's whole problem this year is that they have lost their mojo. They need to get their mojo back. When they find it again, they will be just fine.
Don't bag on the players and coaches too much. Losing your mojo is a terrible thing, and it can happen to anyone.
They will get it back, though. This weekend. Against KU. My prediction: NU 45, KU 10.
That damn fat bastard. He better give us our mojo back.
