HuskerPowerVA Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I have expressed my extreme disappointment in the hire. However, trying to talk about anything positive, what type of offense do you think Riley is most likely to install at Lincoln? I believe he is a run first strategist, but is he smash mouth or finesse style in his approach? How will next year's roster fit his preference? Quote Link to comment
Timmahawk Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Pro style, more run than pass, get WR the ball in space. He was quoted recently that they might be adding more spread sets to the offense next year at OSU to better suit the QBs they have coming up. Quote Link to comment
Abdullah the Butcher Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 http://lighttheu.com/2014/04/play-type-by-field-position/ He's been pass first the last couple years. Quote Link to comment
ABQ Husker Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 It will most likely be a pro-style balanced offense. He had a lot of success with Steven Jackson doing the smashmouth thing and I'm hoping we see the same thing with the Huskers. Quote Link to comment
ABQ Husker Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 http://lighttheu.com/2014/04/play-type-by-field-position/ He's been pass first the last couple years. He had to be. His O-lines were decimated with injuries. Quote Link to comment
southernoregonhusker Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 He'll bring back the fullback Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Riley has shown that if he has a stud RB or two, he will rely on the run. Steven Jackson had over 300 carries his sophomore and junior seasons (before going to the NFL). Quote Link to comment

There is a guy in Alabama who seems to have figured out that it not only breeds victories in college, it also attracts future recruits with visions of playing on Sunday. Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 All depends on who he brings in as OS Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Well he had two 800 yard rushers this year before Terran Ward went down and they had to rely on just Storm Woods. Some have really over reacted to the offense of Oregon state Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Pro-style, with balance depending on talent. This tells me that he makes adjustments. This is a new concept to Nebraska. 2 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Plays to his team's strengths. But as mentioned he runs a pro style offense. Which is music to my ears as long as we get our QB back under center I'm happy. CLAPGATE IS OVER! 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerPowerVA Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 The quarterback question will certainly be interesting to watch. Quote Link to comment

There is a guy in Alabama who seems to have figured out that it not only breeds victories in college, it also attracts future recruits with visions of playing on Sunday. I lived in Seattle and followed the Washington Huskies pretty closely (but loved when the Huskers went up there a few years ago and killed them), so I saw OSU quite a bit. They were very good when his teams were healthy. There was a huge faction of the UW fan base on multiple occasions that wanted to bring Riley north when they hired the likes of Willingham and Sarkisian. I would argue that Riley is light years ahead of both of those guys and will do more with the level of talent that NU can get than Pelini or Solich ever did. 1 Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think he likes to adapt and play to his players strengths. When he has good skill like the Rogers brothers he likes to run the ball and get players in space and play. If he has a good power back at RB he likes to run the ball. He throws the ball a lot lately because that is an easy way to move the ball and that is what he has to work with. Sometimes It is easy to find a guy that can sling the ball around. I am more concerned about his defense. I hope he has a tough stop the run style to implement. That is simple to run. To me the one fault in BPs defense is that he wanted to do to many things. if it was hitting and everyone was in the right place it was great, but when it wasn't it didn't work because he didn't allow enough room for error. There was too many things he wanted his players to worry about. Trust that you have good athletes on defense, give them about 3 things to worry about and let them play. 2 Quote Link to comment
