TGHusker Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 It all starts upfront. Maybe Scott Frost finally found himself - back in the future. Quote Link to comment

Popular Post Decked Posted October 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 The option is a great wrinkle. Don’t like it as our base offense but this was a great game & it has been effective this year. I welcome it into the playbook. 13 2 2 Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 As others have said, the option has been a good wrinkle to the offense, but it's not the base of the offense. Even under Osborne, the option wasn't the base offense. Osborne's base offense was power running, and he treated the option like the passing game, as a way to get outside after sucking the D inside. I do like the counter steps from Adrian and the I-back out of the pistol set, as it reminds me of the reverse pivots that the QB would do after taking the snap from under center. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Actually Osborne ran it more as a wrinkle in the offense as opposed to how Frank ran it, but it sets everything up. Me thinks if we continue to run the option like this the big ten is going to have to adjust to us! Quote Link to comment
HuskersNC949597 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 First play of the game: yolobomb to Toure who went up and stole it from the safety. Opened up everything. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I do too and Frost was so good at it. Glad it’s working into this offense. Quote Link to comment

Turner Gill was the best I ever saw running the option. My favorite play of his would be the reverse pivot and then pass on the slant to the split end or wingback, or deep down the middle to the tight end. 1 Quote Link to comment
