Run The Football


Recommended Posts

Nebraska has to go back to being a dominating run team like years past. They will never get a big time passer to come to Nebraska because of distance and weather. Most of the top QB’s want to play in warm weather climates. Ohio State might be the exception.  
 

Wisconsin is doing what Nebraska use to do. They run the football with success, wear defenses out and control the clock. They  recruit big physical linemen and I backs. Again,  you win by controlling the line of scrimmage, controlling the clock and keeping your defense off the field.  
 

Scott Frost needs to revamp the offense and incorporate some power run game and option football like he quarterbacked as a player.  Both Martinez and McCaffrey can run the option and play action pass, plus they are good runners!

Stop trying to be like everyone else offensively and utilize a system that was successful for years at Nebraska.  The west coast offense didn’t work! Spread didn’t work! Chip Kelly uptempo system doesn’t work!   Stop worrying about missing out on the 4 and 5 star players by running the football, they will come if you win!  The linemen and backs will come to Nebraska! There are a ton of athletic quarterbacks that would go to

Nebraska.

 

Finally, Paul Johnson ran the triple at Georgia Tech with success. He played for a conference title, orange bowl and won the ACC. He had success with lousy facilities and having to compete with Georgia, the SEC and ACC for recruits.  Nebraska has great facilities, money and support!  Go back to what made us great! Run the Football!

You're absolutely right, but you won't convince anyone here. For some reason, they and Frost are convinced that this offense, averaging 19 points a game, is the way to go. That they need up-tempo, to play really fast, and keep our Swiss cheese defense on the field for 90 plays a game. 

    Our best play is, without a doubt, the QB draw up the middle. Wouldn't it make more sense to have a fullback running into linebackers and safeties instead of the QB every play?

    For whatever reason, we've hitched our wagon to this horse, and by God, we'll follow it off the cliff to avoid running the ball like we used to. 

    Say what you want about Pelini, but I remember one game in particular - Miami '14 - where we focused on running the ball with Ameer, and we pushed them around. It was glorious. Bring back the run, Scott!
