That offense could still work, so could Wisconsin’s. Any scheme could still work, you have to execute and recruit to it though.
I'm not an Xs and Os type, but doesn't OSU run a version of the spread?
That looks like it works for them.

They do. Teams like Ohio State, Purdue, Indiana, they basically run what we do.I'm not an Xs and Os type, but doesn't OSU run a version of the spread?

Help me understand. Besides recruiting a QB to run a system, do you really have to recruit players to a system? Don't you get the best athlete/FB players you can period otherwise? It is portrayed often that it takes so long for a kid apparently to learn a new way to run block tackle. We have very knowledgeable people here who can probably provide an answer. I think I'm looking for the "why is it that way?" vs "This is how it is" assessment. Help wanted.That offense could still work, so could Wisconsin’s.

And how soon people forget that the spread isn’t new to NebraskaThey do. Teams like Ohio State, Purdue, Indiana, they basically run what we do.

We emphasize QB run because we were getting beat on the lines so had to insert our +1 (QB) to the run game. McCaffrey had 22 rushes in the first half at 170 pounds. That’s not good.But Purdue and Indiana don't seem to emphasize QB run as much as we do.
Justin F is obviously a superstar.
Seems to me that if your QB can't make those short throws consistently, our offense is cooked.

And that begs the real question... why did Frost become more enamored with Chip Kelly's offense rather than Tom Osborne's?That offense could still work, so could Wisconsin’s. Any scheme could still work, you have to execute and recruit to it though.
What percentage of QB plays do we run because they are called in the huddle vs QB runs because they can't find the receiver or the line play breaks down?We emphasize QB run because we were getting beat on the lines so had to insert our +1 (QB) to the run game.

I'm not suggesting the spread offense can't be effective. I know others have said it doesn't work in the Big Ten, but I disagree with them. But since that's what basically everyone is doing, why not do something different? Superficially it may seem less sexy, but who cares if it gives us an advantage and can get the job done?The truth is, the spread can be successful in the Big 10, and it can be successful at Nebraska.
Both Sean Watson and Tim Beck ran a very similar offense to Scott Frost.
In 2011 Taylor Martinez passed for 2000 and 13 TD’s, and ran for 800 and 9 touchdowns.
In 2012 Taylor passed for 2870 and 23 TD’s and ran for 1000 and 10 TD’s.
In 2011 Rex ran for 1350 and 15 Td’s
In 2012 Ameer ran for 1130 and 8 Td’s
In 2013 Ameer ran for 1690 and 9 Td’s
In 2014 Ameer ran for 1600 and 19 Td’s
The fact of the matter is, the spread offense works in the Big 10, and it works at Nebraska.....it just doesnt seem to be working under Frost
By the way, those years (2011-2014) were all under Beck, I think. Watson left town after 2010. Spread wasn't really his thing, but he gave it a shot in 2010 with Taylor Martinez.The truth is, the spread can be successful in the Big 10, and it can be successful at Nebraska.

Probably needed to do something different than what they did. I’ve been harping on that.I agree, but did we recruit (or retain) the right guys for our system?
I'm assuming that Gebbia and O'Brien are better passers than AM and LM.
Somewhere along the way, this staff placed greater value on running skills than passing skills.
We had a ton of called QB runs last game but he also tucks pretty quick. Again, not all his fault since that’s his best asset they tell him to use it.What percentage of QB plays do we run because they are called in the huddle vs QB runs because they can't find the receiver or the line play breaks down?
