mel4red Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I expect a version of the spread option. When run right it is a total nightmare do defend, and it is great at getting the ball to playmakers in space(assuming of course the coach knows what he is doing) Yes, the "Sproption" is the offense we need. Turner Gill would make this shine ! Quote Link to comment
moe Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I would go back to a either a pro-set or I-Formation, perhaps not neccesarily an option offense, but with Ganz you could have that wrinkle in there. I would definately get back to a fullback and go back to being able to run down the ball down people's throats. Be careful what you wish for. Quote Link to comment
RedGixxer Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I just hope we continue to run the style off O that we have run the past 2 weeks.. No was can say that it didnt work... That of course will be up to the new HC. I agree with you though because it looked liked the huskers finally did something right on offense... Quote Link to comment

bdubb75 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I think we need some balance. A good inside and outside game. Maybe a version of the Spread/Pro set. I think in todays game you either spread the field and get a running/mobile QB or you get a solid balance game like LSU or USC. Both seem to run the ball well and balance out the calls. Then again, this all depends on the defense and if the score is lopsided for the opposing team. I think we need a defensive minded coach who can bring a great OC in to run a balance set.

ironmike Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Obviously some form of spread O will be implemented...after all it is what Tom favors. What I really hope is that the new HC will be able to adapt it to the type of players he has (especially at QB). If we have an athlete like Pat White or Tim Tebow, emphasize the QB running game. If the QB has the ability to pick apart defenses like Chase Daniel, emphasize the spread passing attack. Just my $0.02. Quote Link to comment
indianahusker Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I just dont want to see us try and go back to the damn wishbone When did NU ever run the wishbone? Answer - never. Actually, TO ran it a few times in the late 80's...maybe 2-5 times a game in a couple of games. I specifically remember it against FSU in a Fiesta Bowl...and yes, it was a true wishbone set. However, I don't remember him running an option out of it, I remember it being more of a decoy than anything else... Quote Link to comment
