Should Scott Frost pivot his offense?

That type of offense will never work in the Big 10.

lol, who suggested that? Oh, right nobody!

Really IMPO a run first power type O with a lot of presnap motion and throwing when the time is right is all he has to do

If we could get a 6'11" slot receiver in the Sikma mold, everything would change.

Not sure that is tall enough with some of the air mail and alley oop passes we see from some of our quarterbacks.

Actually lots of people have. And it appears you did as well.

really, where? Where did I suggest that?

one other question..

Can you have a base offense with different schemes? You know, change in blocking assignments, change in routes, change in formation.. based on what the other teams does or doesn't do?

My apologies, you said it "could be argued". So I guess you hedged quite well.
And yes, many people have suggested that this type of offense won't work in the Big 10.

Silly question.

Silly question.

exactly, so an offense can work if the schemes are good.. kind of ties into my original post doesn't it.

Nope

Nope

ok, then explain where I am wrong.. I will admit if I am wrong.

As I mentioned just recently in another thread, the problem isn't our X's and O's, it's our execution. Don't fumble. Don't false start. Don't miss a block because you forgot your assignment. Don't snap high because you started off in a bad position over the ball when you lined up. Don't take a sack when you could throw it away. Dont throw a pick just to avoid a sack. Improve on those things, and our point production takes a huge step forward.

Agree scheme may limit us but our execution is so bad it's hard to tell.

I for one would like to see tweaks as mentioned by others on this thread.

Trash the fricking flare pass until you can execute it. Led to 2 awful starts with fumbles. What about toss sweeps? What about inserting a "wing" (think Dana Brinson and Tyrone Hughes) from time to time (Luke?) and running formations off of that? And I like the aspect of having a big back in our fold now.

Our offense is way too predictable. It is absolutely maddening. Maybe with a big o line and more talent there (it appears) we can run more plays?

Someone else mentions how big we are now on offense. I for one am intrigued to see what we can do with this bigger mindset.

I have been dying to be woke and use the word “pivot”, so I figured I make the debut here.

I don’t know, but he probably ought to change some things.
