*** Official Rutgers Game Thread ***

[The Duke]

The physical downhill running game we saw in this game HAS TO BE what the offense is built around going forward.

 

Get great at those downhill run schemes, add in some counters along with various read-option elements & speed option with play-action passing

 

...there's your 2021 Nebraska offense.

[TDHusker]

It not good to be critical on a night these guys found a way to win. They made plenty of mistakes, but they fought through them and got the win. Proud of them all.

[Cornfed]

As rough as this season has been. That interview with Martinez gave me hope and pride.

Way to go!  Great win for Nebraska!  May be the only win for the Big Ten West against the East.  

I'll be pulling for you guys against OSU!

I'm buying what you are selling.  I agree 100%.  600+ yards of offense.  Granted against Rutgers, but that was alos with 4 TO's, penalties and TFL.....It could be potent.

Good win

 

Your conference still sucks

Good luck tomorrow cyclones.  I wish my father in law was still alive to see where ISU is right now.

If NU gets a bowl offer, they should take it. They need the work.

Stats don't lie. 345 yards rushing (no matter who your opponent is) is a great night on the ground.

 

This was Nebraska football tonight. Ground & pound.

 

And when you over commit to the running back we're going to option right off you.

I think we underestimate the health of both his shoulders. I think he’s in constant pain

Wont ever happen with this offense, lose to many running plays being strictly shotgun 

Then the offense needs to be tweaked in the offseason to where the shotgun is not our exclusive backfield setup, especially when we're near the goal line.

 

I actually hope the 2021 offense incorporates everything from:

• Shotgun or Pistol 3x1
• Shotgun or Pistol 2 tight end sets
• Under center singleback sets
• And yes...some I-formation

I am hoping that Frost realizes this "was his offense" so he can scrap the cute stuff and build off of this as his base O.

Listening to Frost, he’s either is trying to play hard to get to get a better bowl or he really doesn’t think the guys want to play. He really is downplaying it.
