Saw the Oregon-UCLA game. On one hand it was sad because this pathetic UCLA team beat Texas. On the other had, no way we are close to MNC...Oregon would crush us.
I like our defense and we do that better than Oregon but we are a poor man's Oregon on offense...and I don't really think the issue is TMart. The Oregon QB is not a stellar passer or faster than TMart. He just has ALL DAY to throw behind his O-Line and has WR's that are quite good (two luxuries TMart does not have). And then he has a Heisman weapon out of the backfield. And they are conditioned, up tempo, and NOT sloppy. Oregon can put a number of QB's in their system and they will do quite well.
No doubt an Oregon offense with an NU defense would be a title contender every year. It is an extreme no brainer to bring Scott Frost back to NU. Oregon is giving us a picture of what we need to do on offense and then just tweak to our personnel. I like our O-Line recruiting. I like TMart and Jamal Turner running this style offense. Aaron Green, come on down. WR's...we need to grab some playmakers in a major way. Also, how about using the TE again!
we desperately need an O line and an O line coach........same old $hit, just a different year at NU!
The o-line is dramatically improved over last year. They're not the pipeline, but give it time, and I think you'll see better results. On the other hand, if you bring in a whole other coach... it's going to fall apart.
Where we need to see some drastically different results, in my opinion, is at WR. We've been dropping passes since Gilmore arrived, and it cost us the game this past Saturday, with what should be his best WR corps to date.
