I understand that many are not watching football tonight because the Huskers aren’t playing. I think the amateur offensive coordinators out there might be able to catch a few things from this BCS game.
For those that have commented that Beck passes too much, doesn’t run enough diamond, gets away from what is working and blah blah blah, I hope you watched the first half.
The #14 rushing offense in the country has abandoned the rush because guess what…it’s not there. They have to throw the ball. They are taking what the defense is giving them. 42 total plays with 25 of them being passes. So far, I can only recall one rush on first down by Alabama. The play action pass is opening up the run....hmmmmm.
The big difference is the QB play has been consistent and the receivers are catching the ball. Oh yeah….No stupid penalties either.
