craigsker Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Do we have a player we could put in the offense that might be a wrinkle? Someone who could come in at a different position? For a trick play? Is it Suh? Sorry about multiple posts...the brain is working overtime on this stuff. Quote Link to comment
HuskerExpat Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Well, it was Suh last year, so I'm not sure how much of a "trick" it would be this year....but it is fun to see him line up at fullback anyway! Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 There are a lot of options for this I think. Anybody who is really athletic in one shape or form could do something interesting for us. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Though Mendoza is now back at HB I could definitely still see him running routes out of the slot a bit. One wrinkle to look for this year though is the TE's like Reed and Cotton maybe coming out of the backfield in passing routes. That could be interesting. Quote Link to comment

I forgot they have been saying that Reed could maybe get down as a fullback. That would be extremely interesting. And I think Mendoza, with his WR knowledge from this year, could make an impact in the passing game. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I think a Wildcat with Rex Burkhead might not be out of the question... Rex did play a little bit of QB as a Jr. in HS. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I've always wondered if a 2-QB formation would work. I've never seen anyone actually try it the way I'm imagining it, but I dreamed it up back when we had Crouch and Lord. Basically they would both be in shotgun position (possibly with a RB as well) and the snap could go to either player. Could throw the defense off, maybe with Lee and Washington. Lot's of creative plays. Quote Link to comment

redout22 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I haven't heard much about him but a lot could be done with Taylor Martinez. We all know how athletic he is. Could be useful for the Joker. Quote Link to comment

Scratchtown Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 no way, i hate that formation....the onel listed in that guys sig. Missouri ran something like that against OU in the championship game and I cannot stand that. I don't like it at all. Reminds me too much of a street football game. Quote Link to comment

I think the 2 QB look is a specialty of the A11 offense that HS in CA runs. I heard that HS rules are being changed because of it though. Quote Link to comment

Though Nebraska did run a Double QB Offense under Bill Jennings. He called it the Tandem T offense... didn't work so well. Quote Link to comment
