River-runner Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Besides a QB that is mobile and can take punishment; why cannot a WCO set of recruits run a spread option attack? We need the quickness and strength of the WCO O-line and the receivers/blocking downfield to get open on play action passes. Looks like we have running skills if the line could provide an opportunity. Why could the right coaching staff not take our kids recruited for the WCO and make them successful in something besides the WCO. Football is football. Quickness and toughness is needed in whatever offense you run. I don't see this as a problem if the recruiting classes have actually been as good as reported. Is the quality of the new kids smoke up our butt too? If the recruiting quality has been questionable, we have a long road back. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 These guys could run a spread offense well enough. You're not going to see them revamp things in the middle of the season, though. If you mean for next season, sure, they could do that. Quote Link to comment

The main ingredient though, for a really good option, is a bruiser of a QB like Frost, Frazier, Berringer, Crouch, etc. Quote Link to comment
TX-Husker-2011 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 A lot of them don't want to run the spread option attack. I know for a fact that if T.O. brings in a coach that wants to focus on the run, we will see receivers transfer. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Yeah, Keller isn't mobile enough to do a real spread option. I hope whatever happens they will be a run first team, but I don't want to see the pass go away. I'd like a pretty balanced offense, whatever they do. Quote Link to comment

Or at least run a version of the spread, with the option as part of it, and keep your passing game. Quote Link to comment
huskerjack23 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 stop saying spread option. they can run shotgun spread. flanker screens, hb zone or direct plays. curl and out routes. corner routes. just because tim tebow runs every down doesn't mean that's how spread is run. that's how urban meyer and rich rodriguez run it. we could run it like the colts or the pats run it. we could even run it like Texas Tech runs it. stop saying option. it's only a play. it's not a bas offense.

I would call WV offense a spread option. I understand it's only a play, but that is mainly what WV runs, is it not? An option play out of a spread formation. Hence, I would term their offense the spread option. I don't know if anyone else runs a true spread option, but I would certainly call it an offense for them. Quote Link to comment

Maybe that wouldn't be that big of a deal since receivers have only caught 5 TDs all year. Quote Link to comment
np_husker Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 With a good coaching staff I can see these players doing anything. I don't buy the lack of talent excuse. Maybe I did during the first couple years of the Cally era, but not any more. We need a coach with fire and passion. Also, the way practices are conducted needs to change. I heard T.O. say numerous times this week that when he was coaching they had multiple stations going on at all times. Seems to me that Cally limits the reps to those who will be playing and no one else gets a chance to learn or gain experience. Quote Link to comment

rkhufu7 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Curyenski is from spread offense, don't know whta Paul ran. The spread is the new bone/wing-t. Quote Link to comment
