The Model for Success at Nebraska: A Strong Physical Running Game


The Duke

Recommended Posts

 

When your declared #1 running back and offensive line is producing an average of 8.9 yards per carry....you keep pounding the rock.

 

Stay committed to the running game. Nebraska did this for 3 plus quarters against Minnesota, until Langsdorf resorted back to his pass, pass, pass crap in the 4th quarter.

 

The thing is, in our first four games our line played really badly. That first long run by Newby - That was all done by our line. We've ran similar plays many, many times in the first six games. And that was the first time our line actually executed the play to spring Newby free for a track race.

 

Also, Newby is finding holes and finishing his runs better than he did in the first five games.

 

No matter how badly you want it to be true, it's just not as simple as you're making it. And Armstrong threw the ball more accurately on Saturday and gave Minnesota a lot to worry about on the edges. That's how it's done in this offense. And it put up 41 points.
