Taylor Martinez wasn't a "game changer"? After watching Lee behind this offensive line, Tommy Armstrong wasn't a "game changer"?

Shane Black writes all of his movies to take place at Christmas.

Show your work, please.

In another light, it could be that he thinks there aren't enough highly rated QBs on the team.

I thought Corey McKeon graduated like, 10 years ago?

I'm going Sunday afternoon, so I have an extra day to work with.

The discussion was in the context of recruiting, but I get what you're saying. Add: "Or the part where arguably the biggest upgrade along the coaching staff is at O-Line."

I think it was Greg Smith from HV on 590 yesterday that said something to the extent of "the O-Line you have on the roster is probably the one you're going to roll with next year". This was before Banks canceled his visit, but I wonder how much it reflects our recruitment of Hall, too.

FIFY.

No one else is doing a full marathon? I started mine last night, Machete Order style.

It's good of you to admit your mistakes.

Possibly, but probably not.

I believe we got 2 CBs last night? And Wisky offered 2 DTs? Maybe some smoke here.

If you base it just off of statistics, Mariotta in '14 and Milton in '17 have been his most successful QBs, and Ganz in '08 is in their ballpark.

I think Adrian Martinez is probably a good starting point to find out.

That's a good point; one thing to think of is how lost yardage due to sacks can play into yards per carry; Ganz was sacked 21 times in 2008 (I'm efforting to find how much lost yardages that accumulates to), while Milton has been sacked 10 times this year.

I've noticed quite a bit in discussions on both what the offense next year will look like and in recruiting that it's a certainty that Frost needs a "run-first" QB to make his offense work at a high level. Look at the stats, though, and that seems to be a bit of a fallacy. For comparison's sake, let's look at the rushing attempts and completion percentage of QBs at Oregon and UCF during Frost's tenure at both places, and how that might affect how he wants his QB room to look at Nebraska. Frost as WR coach: 2009: Jeremiah Masoli - 12 games/121 attempts (10 att/game) (58% completion) 2010: Darron Thomas - 12 games/93 att (7 att/g) (61.5%) 2011: Darron Thomas - 13 games/56 att (4 att/g) (62.2%) 2012: Marcus Mariota - 13 games/106 att (8 att/g) (68.5%) Frost as OC: 2013: Marcus Mariota - 13 games/96 att (7 att/g) (63.5%) 2014: Marcus Mariota - 15 games/135 att (9 att/g) (68.3%) 2015: Vernon Adams - 10 games/83 att (8 att/g) (64.9%) Jeff Locke - 5 games/61 att (12 att/g) (61.6%) Frost as HC: 2016: McKenzie Milton - 10 games/100 att (10 att/g) (57.7%) 2017: McKenzie Milton - 12 games/93 att (8 att/g) (69.2%) On average, offenses that Frost has been involved with (or that have inspired his offense, if you will) have ran the QB around 8 times a game (or 2 times per quarter), with a completion percentage hovering in the mid 60s. Compare and contrast that with QBs that we have seen at Nebraska: Tommy Armstrong - 45 games/423 att (9.4 att/g) (53.3%) Taylor Martinez - 44 games/585 att (13 att/g) (59.8%) Joe Ganz - 24 games/115 att (5 att/g) (65.1%) - 2008: 12 games/92 att (7 att/g) (68%) Jammal Lord - 39 games/516 att (13 att/g) (48%) Eric Crouch - 43 games/648 att (15 att/g) (51.5%) Scott Frost - 24 games/302 att (13 att/g) (53.5%) Tommie Frazier - 35 games/342 att (10 att/g) (49.5%) My conclusion is this: I don't believe that Frost's offense absolutely needs a Taylor Martinez to be successful; I think it needs a Joe Ganz. Put someone back there with a completion percentage in the 60s while also being able to run the zone read/designed run an average of one to two times a quarter. I think that both Gebbia and POB can do this, should they be called upon next year. *2021 EDIT*: since we're 3 years into Frost's offense, we can add more data to see how our thesis is holding up: 2018: Adrian Martinez - 11 games/140 att (13 att/g) (64.6%) 2019: Adrian Martinez - 10 games/144 att (14 att/g) (59.4%) 2020: Adrian Martinez - 7 games/91 att (13 att/g) (71.5%) These are by far the largest numbers of QB carries a Frost QB has had, and they coincide with the 3 worst records a Frost team has had......things that make you go "Hmmm".

He's currently bigger than the QB that ran Frost's offense this past season. I realize this has been pointed out to you, but the point still stand. If Gebbia is the starter this season, he will be fine. Frost will tailor the offense to suit his strengths.

Sure we do. We currently sit with, what, 5 scholarship WRs? If Morgan goes pro, that makes 4.

Huge need now that Moore is out.

Juco players' ratings tend to be built off of their original rating coming out of school, plus their offer sheets, as opposed to what they put on film.

Can we get Todd McShane to work with the new staff on their Twitter game before he leaves?

I wouldn't; I think Wilson is a better prospect than Locksley.

F*** Creighton.
