By what measure are we saying this system doesn't work in the B1G ten?
Do you really want him to try to explain this? LolBy what measure are we saying this system doesn't work in the B1G ten?
One could argue systems don’t work against certain systems till blue in the face. The only systems that don’t have match up issues have elite talent all over the field.By what measure are we saying this system doesn't work in the B1G ten?
I think it certainy helps that Lubick knows and understands the Oregon offense . . . so there's less time that would be spent on getting up to speed with the core of what Frost is doing. But ML's been around a lot of other good offenses and OC's. As others have said, I would hope that this is an opportunity to have Lubick help modify and improve what needs to be modified and improved.
Hopefully his first few hours involves shredding the swing pass pages in the playbook.
They don't need to remove it, but it should be at the very back of the playbook until we develop the threat of a downfield/vertical passing gameI think it certainy helps that Lubick knows and understands the Oregon offense . . . so there's less time that would be spent on getting up to speed with the core of what Frost is doing.

My hope is that Frost can add a few wrinkles like some FB/TE play that will modify the classic Oregon system to be more suitable for the meatgrinder B1G.
Sure hope I have no clue what I’m talking about!
You don’t......
I would think it would be hard to judge if Scott’s offense can hold up to the grind. Since everyone says there wasn’t any talent when he arrived. Now with three classes in the books of his recruits I believe next year and beyond you can start to make this kind of assumption.I’m in the camp that a Pac 12/Big 12 spread offense won’t work in the Big 10. We’ve been trying variations of it for what, a decade now? Not much success. Northwestern and Indiana run that style with limited success. I just don’t think that scheme holds up to the physicality of the conference.

When I look back at what we did in the second half of 2018 and down the stretch in 2019, I see a scheme that can go into B10 stadiums and run up a lot of yards and points.
Second half of 2018
Minnesota 53 pts, 659 yards
Ohio State 31 pts, 450 yards
Illinois 54 pts, 606 yards
Michigan State (winter conditions) 9 pts, 248 yards
Iowa 28 pts, 400 yards
Last year down the stretch:
Indiana 31 pts, 514 yards
Purdue 27 pts, 375 yards (awful QB play that day)
Wiscy 21 pts, 497 yards
Maryland 54 pts, 531 yards
Iowa 24 pts, 284 yards (2 big turnovers)
I think we can put up 30 pts and 500 yards against even good B10 defenses. Now we need to learn to stop their offenses
As others have said, I'm also a proponent of adding some heavier sets/power to the mix. Frost has talked about adding old style power and we ran the I a tad this year and there were rumors of FB/HBack type things, but never really saw much of it last year. Hopefully with another year we see more of that for some packages
I am hoping he can help bring some innovative ideas
