Diaco Rotates Defensive Players with 'Participation Patterns'

[brophog]

And while basic concepts are the same...... grasping basic concepts is not enough in this day and age.

The basic principles of football never go out of style, and right now Nebraska is not very good at some of these basic concepts. It doesn't matter how fancy you make something, you must perform the basic element of that defense.

He's putting in a completely different defensive philosophy with guys that were recruited to run a different defense.  I'd say we should be happy with improvement(it needs to continue).  Suggesting that Oregon does not have a good offense or that they weren't trying in the second half is laughable.

They were told to stand down. That you think they weren't is laughable. All of a sudden they forgot how to pass?

With almost 9 minutes left in the 3rd quarter it was cut to a 2 score game.....so you are telling me at that point they were not trying to score?? And the very next person ended in an Oregon interception....so they were passing. http://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay?gameId=400935264
