I am I Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 every time the offense gets two first downs in a row, a player on defense could just flop down as though they're hurt, stay down til the trainers come out, then jog off under their own power...oh, wait. Quote Link to comment
captain obvious Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 We run the same freakin play over and over anyways, so why not hurry it up? Quote Link to comment
Coqui Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 All you have to do is hit the QB hard. That's all it took Ohio State to do to slow down their offense last year. Make him afraid to take the ball on the delayed handoff. Then key in on the RB. Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Explain to me...why in the hell did we stomp a mudhole K States ass with this new offensive scheme(zone read)....and all of sudden on this thread...the whole theme is based upon NEB not having skill players to run the new offense...Honestly...it looks effective to me. Nebraska just had poor effort on both sides of the ball last Saturday...and Will Muschamp is a great defensive coach...and Texas has great players. They came in wanting the win more than us it seems...amen. Because KSU is undisciplined, lacks talent, and has zero speed at the LB position to stop a team with a true running threat at QB? That QB draw on 3rd and 10 (a give up play essentially) that Taylor took to the house 80 yards, without being touched, pretty much summed up how overmatched they were in trying to stop a mobile QB. Even Taylor's last TD would make most d-coordinators lose their mind. The over-pursuit against a zone read team is a no-no, but also the lack of effort was almost laughable by them. I am not going to disagree with you. As we both know though..Texas has a stout defense...an effective one. I think Nebraska was definitely tested...and then they needed to put the ball up to win the game...but plenty of drop balls costs us the game. I believe NEB offense is very effective....just not numero uno effective against top defenses....at least our wide receivers were open. Could of been a whole different ball game if Burkhead catches that TD pass.... A quick offense assessment: Nebraska has an effective, explosive offense. But it lacks either 1.) mental toughness when it comes to playing games at home 2.) lacks high intensity game speed to hang with top tier defenses. 3.) Or it could lack both of those factors....a deficite of one of those factors could be very costly to them....we'll find out tomorrow. I honestly think it is one or the other..not both factors. We'll find out tomorrow. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment

I do concur sir....like someone said on this board already....."We shoot ourselves in the foot. The team that will beat Nebraska this year is Nebraska." Texas did have a dominate D though....but other than that....we just played poorly...very poorly. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 It’s become who has the best signal system or verbiage system. Isn't this one thing Beck has really simplified this year? I think we're bringing the hurry up to Lincoln boys 'n' girls. There's really no good reasons as to why it should be illegal. At least I haven't heard one. I know one of Osborne's goals was to run as many plays as possible in a game. I don't see what's so bad about it. It's part of the game. Quote Link to comment

Auburn put up 60+ on him in the SEC championship last year, and Clemson's going to a version of this offense this year. He's going ahead and giving himself an excuse. Quote Link to comment
