Yep, that's the glass full version, for sure.He gets it
Add in a more effective run game, some playmakers at WR and in return game, pluck the low hanging fruit in our STs play, it'll happen
And the transfer players are more effected too, as if we are alone in that.Yep, that's the glass full version, for sure.
Glass empty folks will remind us of first year (lack of) cohesion, first year new-scheme adjustments, first year OC, first year blips, period.
I think you are right about Thompson. He has played with ultra high expectations at Texas, and rose to the occasion. He knows what to expect. I think (hope) he'll be that calm but firm leader for this offense that the guys respond to.And the transfer players are more effected too, as if we are alone in that.
Him pointing out facts about close games isnt HIS pride showing, isnt HIS koolaid.
I think if anything, Thompson will be more consistent than AM.
He has several things AM doesnt, but those pointing out AMs running ability are also pointing out its too much.
I’m not saying it won’t, but how can you be so sure that it will be more effective, or, what this offense will even look like? Not bashing, just asking. We have nothing to go on, so doesn’t it make it kinda a crap shoot? I hope you’re right, and it hums like you think it will. That would go a long way towards victories.I think our run game may not have us near top in the Big.
But in this offense, it shouldnt be. But it will be more effective.
Consistency has been our failure, that changes this year.
Its safe to assume its going to look more like Pitt than Kelly.I’m not saying it won’t, but how can you be so sure that it will be more effective, or, what this offense will even look like?

Threads like 43 points added to this guys noncommitted assessment, with him loving AM as well.Too much hype! Selling a product before it is a proven commodity. The proof is always in the pudding. And, to this point, the pudding isn't even in the mix. Quick fixes are just another in a long line of "here comes the answer NU needs." The truth of the matter is that it takes a complete overhaul of the program to bring about consistent winning. Basically, one player cannot turn a program around. We need a much-improved line play in order for any individual to make a difference. The Martinez experiment fell flat on its face because he was supposed to be the "savior" of the program with too much hype and emphasis on one position.
I agree with the bolded. But it's off season and the fans demand information. The hype is primarily from media sources who are selling clicks, papers, or magazines, and the fans are desperate. I remember back in the mid 70's, I could not wait to get my pre-football Sports Illustrated - invariably the Huskers were featured somehow, and I basically memorized the article's contents. Of course that was before the internet explosion....Too much hype! Selling a product before it is a proven commodity. The proof is always in the pudding.

Does one year of impressive success at Pitt translate to the Big 10 and specifically Nebraska? There is no way to proclaim we are going to be any better or worse for that matter. You are spewing hope and that is great but don’t try to make it out as anything other than that.Its safe to assume its going to look more like Pitt than Kelly.
Same run schemes, but blocked differently.
IMO, less man advantage, more get off quick, my guy bea ts your guy.
That doesnt mean we wont try for man advantage, or have unseen schemes for it, but change of pace, not bread and butter.
How that fares is up to Whip, and he will make adjustments.
We go into this season as an unknown to our opposition, not just our fans, and just like we've been caught expecting to see something that wasnt there, under Whip,IMO, we now have that ability with less rigidity to one scheme.
Watching Pitt games, there was always an answer, and IMO, that answer resides in Whip and his unpredictability.
Having a smart QB that can make the throws should bring success.
