SBNation: How Scott Frost changes the Big Ten West

[Saunders]

The modern option offense might be what finally works well enough against this division’s stout defenses.

 

[TGHusker]

I hope the Big 10 is hit in the head by Scott's offense.  Remember - as Scott said, our offense won't adapt to the Big 10 - it will have to adapt to our offense.

Article under it is "Meet the Bag Man"... another topic to be started elsewhere.

I swear, the first time Nebraska runs the option in the spring game, the roar of approval from 90,000 fans will be heard around the world.

"We don't take what the defenses give us, we take what we want"

 

[Husker from Kansas]

Every coach says that

Yea because it's true, every team adapts to the offense they are playing against, just like every offense will adapt to the defense they are playing against.

My favorite part:

Frost isn’t coming to Nebraska to recruit a bigger team than the Huskers’ rivals in the West, and it isn’t likely that he would be able to anyway.

Instead he’s going to attack what makes teams like Iowa and Wisconsin so strong — the discipline and fundamentals of their players — by constantly changing the rules of the game and punishing mistakes by getting the ball to speed in space.

The notion of a team's fundamental strength being their weakness is intriguing. Here's to hoping it works!

At our best we were an offensive team with a great defense. It's the Nebraska way.

except scott frost. he actually said "i hope they have to adapt to us". unless he changed what he said later which is possible but highly improbable.

Didn't Pelini do that in his first spring game?

Meh.  The crowd also roared on Cally's first spring game play when he did a bunch of shifting and threw a pass.

No they don’t 

"Are they ready for us?"

 - Carl Pelini, when asked if Nebraska was ready for its first Big Ten game against Wisconsin.

We all know how that went...
