BigWillie Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Aaron may be like Chris Whaley. Big time talent that has every school in the country chasing him. Will be tough, but at least we are starting early with Aaron. We will need to, because all the heavy hitters are already aware of the kid. Link to comment

Well, if that's the case, I hope he doesn't decide to go the Chris Whaley route and elects to play ball with his bro instead. Link to comment
illnino Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 In just his second varsity game, he had 428 yards rushing and nine touchdowns in a 69-56 win. Wow. Link to comment
WVhuskerXX Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hopefully Andrew really enjoys his time here...that way Aaron is always hearing good things about the program... Link to comment
TMul Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hopefully Andrew really enjoys his time here...that way Aaron is always hearing good things about the program... That surely wouldn't hurt, but hopefully by that time NU is a running team again. A spread/option running team again. One can hope as the ball controlled passing experiment has produced not much.

Man i hate that offense..... Link to comment

Man i hate that offense..... I assume you want NU to win the Big 12 again, correct?? Possibly before I die play in another MNC game. You're content with the results from last season with the ball controlled passing game?? Please let me know how many championships NU has ever won passing the ball to option based WRs. Furthermore how many stud WR's NU has ever had to get over the hump which this system requires. Also for the North teams that have won the conference, none of them won it with the passing game. Mizzou and a perfect gun slinging system QB throwing the ball to NFL caliber WRs and TE's did nothing...... Link to comment

Mizzou and a perfect gun slinging system QB throwing the ball to NFL caliber WRs and TE's did nothing...... Instead of looking at the North teams, why don't you look at the teams that have won the conference? OU does pretty well with an agressive passing attack as does Texas. Even Florida looks for a balanced attack and try to get at least 200 yards in the air and 200 on the ground, and they are supposedly more of a running spread attack. Yeah the power I and option attack used to work for NU, but assuming that a wholesale change to that system would work again after looking at what offenses work around the NCAA is a stretch IMO.

How long has nebraska been running this "ball control" form of offense? Sincerely trying to run the ball and throw the ball balanced controlling the clock and moving the ball down field? 8 games? 6-2 in those games? winning their last 5? moving the ball in the 2nd half against a very good Clemson defense? Tell me what team has recently won an MNC or even a Big 12 title running a power option attack? So quick to attack the "new system" and dump back to the 90s, yet fail to accept that times have changed. Scholly limits, TV amounts. everything. Different breed of athletes. Link to comment
MadcatNU Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Please let me know how many championships NU has ever won passing the ball to option based WRs. Two I believe. Under Devaney we ran more of a pro style offense that featured quite a bit of passing. The ’70 and ’71 NC teams featured a balanced offense. Later that decade we even had a QB in Vince Ferragamo that would go on to lead the Rams to a Super Bowl – definitely not your stereotypical option QB, eh. It was later, not ‘till the 80’s I think, that Osborne, finding it difficult to attract players for that system, adopted the option offense. Even then the offense that we ran under Gill was very different from the one we ran under Frazier. Imo, this is a big fallacy of NU football. It’s not about winning with a strong running, it’s about finding ways to win with what you've got. If it means running the football, so be it; if it means passing, that is fine too. Link to comment
