In his first year there, he had only 15 catches all season - not exactly #1 in the country material. But people here are expecting him to know all of our system right away, despite missing a ton of practice. Not expecting him to know "all of our system", I expect the staff to get creative in order to get our most talented players on the field. When 2 of our starting WRs are averaging a combined 13.5 yards a game, that's a problem that affects the entire offense. CFB is so talent driven, the team with the most 5 stars is the team that wins the conference. Frost needs to find a way to get them involved, it might be bumpy but it's a step they need to take to win games. Quote Link to comment

VectorVictor Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Question--if our athletic WRs aren't able to get onto the field because they don't know the playbook...don't we have a group of capable TEs that *do* know the playbook that we could use? I mean, if it works for teams like Iowa to move the ball downfield using just TEs for 70%+ of their passing plays during a game, why can't we see more TE passing plays worked into this offense to compensate for our lack of WR depth/ability/readiness? (Re)watching the Northwestern game, I really didn't see the TEs involved except for a couple of times... ...now if I'm missing some because of errant throws or broken plays, that's my bad. But we've heard about how great our TEs are, and they're experienced, why not put the ball in their hands (more than just a few times--like double digits). Quote Link to comment

The off season "we are so deep at TE", "the TE will be solid" blah, blah, blah.....4 TE's and we lose 1 and now it's a huge deal. That's 100% squarely on the staff......Next man up....and we have no plan.....That's my perception..... Much like Cam, he goes out so in anticipation, we cross train Matt instead of Will. Matt gets the start.....We didn't have a #2 that didn't consist of changing our starting front that much....That's planning......that's preparation...... 1 Quote Link to comment

To be fair I do think Stoll was a pretty clear #1 and obviously Jurgens was as well. I think not having both of them causes a pretty vast change of plans at both positions 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Did not know Will was still a work in progress. 10 minutes ago, RedSavage said: To be fair I do think Stoll was a pretty clear #1 and obviously Jurgens was as well.

Yeah, and I think Martinez did throw a ball to him that looked like it was on target but a Northwestern defender tipped it and it didn't make it anywhere close to Omar. Quote Link to comment

HuskerNation1 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Sorry if this has been posted and I missed it. With PSU just coming off a game with Maryland who now has a Covid outbreak, have there been any signs PSU might have positive cases? Quote Link to comment
huskerhaze Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I was thinking the same thing. At least if PSU is out, I am sure the B1G would let us play tOSU again since they can’t play this weekend as of now. Quote Link to comment
