But, I believe the Big Ten would have to really fall from grace to not have the Champion in the playoffs. So you think if a 9-3 team beats an 11-1 team they are making it in the playoff??

BigRedBuster Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I said the regular season matters. However, I forgot that the Big Ten was left out of the playoffs last year. So, I should change my statement to say that most years, winning the Big Ten will get you in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 The timing of a loss (and, to a degree, who that loss is to) is ultimately what matters in the CFP race, which is why conference champs have been left out. If the football gods offered us a B1G championship victory but a CFP snub in the next 3-5 years... I'd take it. One of our first goals has to be to raise our floor and our ceiling.

Big Red 40 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The way the program was headed after last year things were bound to remain bad or get even worse . I have no doubt with the changes made we will see a much better coached , better conditioned, better disciplined and more competitive TEAM on the field this year .National/conference championship teams take all that plus a few star players, time, and some luck . We aren’t there yet but as long as we’re headed the right direction we should all be happy . GBR Good vid btw Dilly . Quote Link to comment

boach_clack Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Seems like the theme for this thread is more schematic than intangibles that Frost and his staff bring to the table, so I will try to stick with the theme. This scheme is really impressive, but I have been studying it before Frost was hired. It manipulates safeties, creates space for speed, and has exit/safety throws on every play. This scheme alone will probably win Nebraska a game and a half that they would normally not win. Everything is easy for the offense and difficult for the defense to adjust to it. The QB has the hardest job because he has to make good pre snap reads and quick decisions with the football after the snap. Most of what he reads will be pre snap i.e. 5-man box = run, 6-man box = run/pass, 7-man box = pass. The old Nebraska offense is hidden in there with triple option on every play. Old school power with the guard pulling with a QB run off the back end, tackle power with a QB run off of it, and then throw both of those in with a safety bubble....this is the stuff that makes D coordinators heads spin. I couldnt imagine trying to prepare for this offense. Its very unorthodox and also "Old School". Oh and did I mention they snap the ball every 18 secs? Whoa! I think this scheme will put us in games that we otherwise would not be in...just watch. 6 Quote Link to comment

I don’t consider two teams playing each other playoffs. However the point stands, there are many repeat selections. Has a lot to do with their coaches. I believe we have one of “those” coaches now.

I'm a huge fan of this offense as well, but it's not the scheme that does this....it's knowing what you're going to do and doing it well that does that. It's Frost's ability to teach it, to staff and players, and develop practice around mastery that makes this an offense that equates to more chances to win. Quote Link to comment

There are only so many schemes in football, but everyone doesn't have great offenses. It's how you practice that makes the difference, and of course the talent to make it all work. 1 Quote Link to comment
