Keyshawn Sr certainly behind Riley and the Huskers

This season Nebraska had the best receiving corps in our history, and among the weakest running back corps, and Langsdorf ran the ball 523 times and passed it 400 times.

 

It's not an air raid offense. It's not a balanced offense. It's just an offense.

 

If you have a better passing quarterback with a higher completion %, you can actually pass less and run more than we did this year.

 

But don't stop freaking out about us flinging the ball all over the place.

 

I think that's the thing. We're trying to work with what we have. QB who is not exceptionally accurate, we run. Hopefully next year we have a guy completing 60+% of his passes so we will sling it a little more.

 

 

You do realize that you just posted the complete opposite of what Guy posted, right?

Yes, sorry. Used "that's the thing" as a corrective statement. Can totally see how that would be confusing.

When the QB has a higher completion percentage, you get more completions in fewer attempts. You don't have to pass more.

 

You can keep passing if that's working, but it's a huge leap to an Air Raid offense, which only a handful of teams ever run.

 

Armstrong was kind of in-between. Those zone read keepers and mad scrambles work when defenses know you're a threat to pass. Tommy completed just enough passes to be a legitimate threat. Sometimes he was a legitimately thrilling QB, and who'd try to reign that in? But Tommy was never as efficient as you'd like. Merely our best chance to win the past 4 years. He ran fairly often and ran pretty well. But I don't think we win more games if Tommy ran more.

obviously Langs will be airing it out a lot over the next couple years..........we are about to transition to a get our big play players the ball in space passing offense......hoping it works out.

 

FIFY

 

wow, that was profound!

Think we see more pass, however decent % of them will be designed to go to the backs and another portion will be checked down to the backs (area that TA - wasn't that good at). You will then see the RB making a move in space after the catch - it will feel more like a controlled run game then the "slinging" it down field that was over-used the past 2 seasons.
