watching the Orange bowl

[Husker66]

Sitting here watching the Orange Bowl and can't help comparing where our program is and where these two are. No sloppy fumbles, very few penalties(no back to back delay of games!). No questionable late hits, no obvious lack of disipline, good offenses and defenses, just 2 very good, well disciplined football teams executing good game plans. Quality all the way around....man we have a ways to go. Really like watching Tyrod scramble and making things happen.

[WYHusk]

Tyrod Taylor is everything Tmart could be. Though Tmart is faster, I think so ... man, fun to think about it. Prolly not ever going to happen in reality.

 

And yes, both teams are extremely disciplined. Fun football to watch. Easy to forget when you spend a season getting heart palpitations watching the Husks.

 

What's also crazy to think about: VA Tech lost to a freakin' FCS team. And here they are, in the BCS.

Good ball to watch, nothing like watching the huskers.

I have pretty much watched every bowl game this season and have thought and commented how nice it is to see a "good" football team execute especially on the offensive side of the ball.

Tyrod Taylor is everything Tragic could be. Though Tragic is faster, I think so ... man, fun to think about it. Prolly not ever going to happen in reality.

I was remembering that just two short years ago how we lost to Virginia Tech by only one point.

Not only do their offenses adjust nearly each posession, gasp, they also change AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE

I'll add that their receivers make plays on the ball, gasp, even when the ball isn't well thrown. Watching other team's receivers makes me realize how terrible our WR corps is.

[I am I]

Yeah. We NEVER have recievers consistantly in open spots or moving away from man coverage to be able to make athletic plays on the ball.

 

It's all or nothing with our WRs

since harbaugh is going to leave standford... can we get there oline coach..... they are opening some major holes!!!

[mnhusker]

We have a better Kicker than Stanford ..... I'm sure of it.

[SnowBigRed]

I really like Stanford's offense. Similar to Wisconsin in a way. Run, run, run, sprinkle in some well timed playaction (not 3rd and 11), run time off clock, take well timed shots down the field, take pressure off defense, and VOILA!!! You got yourself a solid offense. Almost seems to simple.

 

However, Stanford and Wisconsin are both very disciplined and aggressive at the same. No dumb penalties, fumbles, mistakes, etc. Basically everything that Nebraska is not.

 

On the plus side, Nebraska has a better defense.

The one bright spot on the year... our kicker!

Which is interesting, Stanford's offense is actually not simple at all in any way.

I realize that it's a pro-style offense, but I don't think too many people would consider it extremely complicated either.

 

I wasn't saying their schemes and what not aren't well thought out, and maybe "simple" wasn't the best word. I was more referring to their overall philosophy. Focus on the run and use play action to take shots.
