hskrfan4life Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I don't get why every1 thinks we're going to get "rocked" by Oklahoma. Our defense is damn good & Oklahoma's offense arent exactly world beaters this year because OU put 35 on Kansas, but some people don't realize our defense is way better than kansas's Defense, let's hope whomever the starter is does great, and continues that till next week.

junior4949 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 OU has lost 3 games by how many points? It's not so much OU's offense that scares me. It's how many points will OU's D put on us that has me concerned. Given the last two weeks performance by the Huskers, it's difficult to believe we won't get "rocked". Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Fantastic. So he hold onto the ball and beat Baylor by a few scores, then go and get rocked vs. OU. No offense, but the exact same thing will likely result even if Green starts tomorrow. Could be, but I think a QB willing to throw the ball downfield at least gives us a chance against OU. At least we could make a game out of it. Quote Link to comment
Malth Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Both Lee and Green will start. New formation - Lee and Green in shotgun with Tray Robinson between. Direct snap to either Lee or Green, and they run the Zone Read from the formation. The QB who doesn't get the snap just stands there and Vogues. This pretty much sounds like the best idea ever.

Our defense is damn good & Oklahoma's offense arent exactly world beaters this year By rocked I was thinking more along the lines of 27-3, not 70-3, just to clarify. Texas Tech scored 24 against our defense, so I think it's likely OU at least has the capability to do the same. Whether we are able to do anything against OU (or any decent defense for that matter) will depend on whether we develop ANY sort of downfield passing game. Under Lee, I just don't see that happening. WR screens and short curls at the sidelines not only won't move the ball consistently against OU, but they will likely result in a couple pick sixes. Quote Link to comment
Twodocs Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Is it fair to Cody to be asked to play an away Big 12 game and to start with a whole new batch of new recievers who are young and getting a first start? To me this a recipe for West Coast offense disaster and a Waco meltdown! ? Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Thats why I keep saying if he does get the start I think we will lean heavily on the zone read with play action coming out of that set and play design. I don't think new receivers will have a lot to do with it. He seemed to have a good rapport going on with Cooper and he's been throwing to the others for almost a year now so there should be no problems with timing or anything like that.

To me this a recipe for West Coast offense disaster and a Waco meltdown! ? This isn't your typical Big 12 away game. Baylor very rarely sells out their stadium (only 38,000 against top 15 Oklahoma St.). And even at capacity, it's not a very hostile environment. My guess is that there are about 35,000 Baylor fans and 5000-8000 Husker fans at this game. Weather will be perfect, sunny and mid-60s. Baylor's offense is pathetic and will be lucky to score 10 against the Blackshirts. IMO, couldn't be a more perfect opportunity to see what Green can do. Quote Link to comment

To me this a recipe for West Coast offense disaster and a Waco meltdown! ? Hmm I hadn't thought about that. I guess Lee probably will get the start. Is Niles starting? He is supposed to be the best blocking reciever on the team so that would make sense to run the zone read but I can't see Bo changing everything like that. It appears that Cody is his last option for a "spark" Quote Link to comment

To me this a recipe for West Coast offense disaster and a Waco meltdown! ? You could look at it this way.... Green has been working with these second team receivers more in practice with the 2nd team offense. So if he and a couple of these guys start they would be on the same page more than he would with Holt and the others who are not starting. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Fantastic. So he hold onto the ball and beat Baylor by a few scores, then go and get rocked vs. OU. See this is the biggest problem with our current situation. I don't care if Lee goes 25-30 for 355 yards passing and 4 TD's. He still hasn't been a consistently good player against better than average competition. If he has a great game tomorrow, and then has a piss-poor showing against OU, all I'm going to be able to do is . Quote Link to comment

So Cody is back in the starting lineup! Quote Link to comment
