Offensive Playcalling Early Against Wisky

We will see some Burkehead td passes...
I've been thinking that we'll open up with something down field like the Washing game. Since Wisky will have seen the option pass play on film, why not throw deep from the Wildcat formation with Rex? We showed the Wildcat last game so you know Wisky will have gone over it.

 
Depends how Bucky lines up. If they pile up against the run we're going deep to the slot guy. if they spread out to cover the recievers we'll see how they like the option. they don't have a ton of defensive speed and their LB play isn't real good, & some of the cupcakes they've played have gotten good gains running the middle. they may have seen the option on tape, but the only option offense they've played is mehchigan. we will move the ball and score, we'll want to keep their O off the field.

 
I think we'll see a very up tempo offense that is going to take Wisconsin by surprise and put them on their heels. As long as we don't try to run in between the tackles too much and keep them reeling we'll have a great shot at taking this game. B1G teams aren't used to facing offenses like this, we're very fast. Maybe not as big as the other teams in the B1G, but I can almost guarantee we are the fastest.

 
I think our offensive playcalling will depend a lot on how Wisconsin lines up. If they stack the box, I see Beck airing it out a bit in single coverage. If they don't stack the box, I see Beck calling several quick hitters with maybe a fullback trap or two in the mix.

 
I really feel that Beck is gonna try and stretch then vertically and laterally, which no one has been able to challenge them. I really think we'll see some wildcat and diamond formation, IMO. I also agree with the tempo and I look for Kyler to have a big game.

I predict that we'll be down early, but will show such resolve and determination that we'll win over the Wisconsin fans, who will begin chanting "NEBRASKA! NEBRASKA!" right before we win in dramatic fashion.

Just like Rocky IV
