Kiyoat Husker Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 It seems as though we finally have some stability and an identity for our offense, after much experimentation over the last decade. I have two questions for the XnO guys on this board: 1. What exactly do we run? Is it a frankenstein offense with pieces from several places? How do we define it? 2. What nickname would you give it? I think the offense is stable and successful at the moment, and warrants a nickname. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 1. It is an impressive blend of power/spread/no-huddle/option. Definitely unique. 2. NeBRISKa. There it's named, lock this b!t(# up.... Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Frankenstein is pretty appropriate. I believe Beck usually refers to it as "multiple." Scoring Explosion II is the best I've heard so far but that is somewhat presumptuous at this point. Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Oh, and I forgot to mention: As I was googling for an answer to my #1 quesiton, I found this funny article from October 2011 entitled: "2011 Nebraska Offense: A Confusing System you Can't Describe" http://www.opposingviews.com/i/sports/ncaa-football/big-ten/2011-nebraska-offense-confusing-system-you-cant-describe Some quotes: The Nebraska offense has a severe identity crisis. It wants to be so many different things -- but doesn't do any one thing very well. Right now, the Huskers embrace too many philosophies and don't know who they are offensively. They run a little bit of everything, but they don't do any one thing very well. Nebraska wants to be a part-time option team. That's a recipe for failure. Back in February, Beck said you can't be afraid to "junk everything." He's right -- but he's now running an offense that has a lot of used parts. He's cobbled together a system that asks Martinez to do far too much. geez, I guess Michael Flood McNulty was right. What were we thinking? Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Beck has described our offense as a mutt. I think that's as good a nickname as any. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Franken-steinbeck offense. Each game is an epic novel of heartbreak and/or joy. 1 Quote Link to comment

Kiyoat Husker Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 How bout the "Indian Corn" Offense? ... I'm sure no one would be offended by that name... Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Please tell me this goes away in a few days. I'm sure it will. It is the first game week of the season, so a tidal wave of new threads should wash this one away. Why do you care? Post if you want. Don't if you don't. 2 Quote Link to comment
