Forge Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 It seems like with the new coaches coming into the B1G, we are seeing less down hill running offenses like Wisky. Iowa hired OC Davis that ran very successful Spread offense at Texas Ohio State hired Meyers Illinions (Beckman) is running the spread this year Indiana, K WIlson from Oklahoma will run a hurry up spread 8 out of 12 will run a spread type of offense this year. So, do we really need to change our D all that much? Quote Link to comment
husker B-rent Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 yes because the players will still likely be bigger and that is the main issue, not the type of scheme run imo. Quote Link to comment

Ziggy Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Maybe a move would be better described as a power spread and not a speed spread. The biggest problem for B1G to play an effective speed spread is having fast WR's that can spread the field both vertically and horizontally. The fact that we have the #1 WR core is an indication that the B1G isn’t ready for a true speed spread at most schools. For now the true peso is shelved, but I can see a possible alteration becoming the next scheme Pelini uses to combat the offenses the Blackshirts face this year. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Maybe eventually...but not for few years IMO. Out of the 4 teams named only 1 is a "contender" for the Conference Champ. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I would imagine we'll see a version of the Peso, or some variations on that thrown into the defense starting this year. Heck, Bo even ran some Peso last year. The key to the Peso is having that hybrid back that can do it all. People seem to overlook just how awesome Eric Hagg was in that system. Bo mentioned several times that he built that defense around Hagg. Quote Link to comment

So, do we really need to change our D all that much? This all comes back to that "mobile" QB discussion. Ohio State running the spread with Braxton or Michigan with Denard, versus Iowa running a spread offense with Vandenberg (sp?) is an entirely different animal for Pelini. We owned Oklahoma under Jones, and owned Missouri under Gabbert. Maybe we need that quick mobile peso back to stop a guy like Braxton - but I personally think it's going to have to be something different. I'm sure Bo has a plan though. Quote Link to comment
Forge Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 From the sounds of Urban, he plans to focus on speed. Good point about B1G spread QB's are runners. Were as in the B12, we mostly say pocket passing QB's running the spread. Outside of RG3, i cant remember a scrambling QB that ran the spread in the B12. But, I am glad to see the B1G evolving. I think the new coaches will start focusing on speed, and not just size. Hell other than Kirk and Brett, most the coaches in the league are very new. Quote Link to comment
Ziggy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 My opinion on how to stop a mobile QB is a spy. Running a 4-3 our 2 outside LB share a spy on the QB. If the QB goes to the left our left OLB is responsible and the right DE has back contain, opposite if it goes to the right. Obviously this is a pretty basic scheme and wont work every time, but it might be something to try. Quote Link to comment
huskerinacaveman Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Not a football genius, and I can see that the only way you can use the Peso in the B10 is if you have a big LB that can play coverage, like reaaaaallly good, and play the line backer spot well enough to be one of the top three in the traditional 4-3 That kid would have to be the son of Zeus Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 this should be interesting. Urban is going to run the spread at Ohio State..depends on how much this type of O is expanded in the league, as to whether the Peso comes back. Quote Link to comment
