Exactly, but ya know, AM was hurt and maybe he did not want to reinjure that ankle. Something was up because AM did not run on Sat
WHY oh WHY Shotgun on 4th & inches?

I was at the NU/Minn in Minneapolis a few years ago when BP played TM on a bad leg—same result

I personally don't think Frost would do well in either conference.
Such a shame because he can build a program. But on gameday he
simply belongs in mid majors where the competition isn't so tough each week.
He is a losing coach because;
1. he has a ****** offensive scheme
2. he will not commit to evolving or at least adjusting
Nebraska will never be Nebraska again until we establish a running culture game
Oregon was able to establish a spread run first offense - Frost helped with that. I think that can work in the Big 10 (OSU does it) but you have to have the players and coaches to do it.
He has been unable as head coach to replicate Oregon's O at Nebraska. Combo of bad recruiting decisions and his offensive assistants. There also is something not quite right with culture/game day "winner's attitude".
Trev is facing a tough decision. Firing is going to hurt (T.O. among those against it). But continuing to be a losing program will kill the golden goose. Hopefully they get the hire right - but clearly between the decision makers and those interested.......we've struggled to get it right post T.O.

Running the Duck Spread is not condusive to developing a running attack, just the opposite. Pistol Formation Part I: Evolution and Theory
For 1, you have to have 7 on the LOS I believe, and 2, how about the OL just do their job?
B1G teams run hybrids of the Duck Spread. I am not against that but I am for an offense that promotes the run which the spread does not. When Justin Fields ran the OSU spread, he was not even close to being the team leader in rushing. The kid there now has 17 yds for the season.
The teams of the B1G just have to insert their version of D that stops Nebraska whenever they play us. It works season after season. Our attack doesn't change so why should they change how they defend against it?
One of the few aspects of our offense that works is the option. We only have one play that they use to the left or right. I have said this over and over without the threat of a running game Frost's O will not work. He has said as much on numerus occasion. That should have been priority one when he got here.
That is because he has the wrong coach in charge for starters. If you read the article you would know the shotgun which our boy AM2 is in every down, or a version of it, is not a great set for running the ball. Could be the reason our boy fumbled and stumbled last week. If he want to hand of the ball and he is under center the RB has a full head of steam without trying to find the hole and grab the ball. His MO is for the QB always to have the threat of running the ball and a smart coach like PJ takes advantage, ergo the 3 wins straight over us. Frost does the same thing the same way all the time. PJ defended the option pretty well I thought. I might add the FUMBLE against MU could have been avoided had he only wanted the one yard, once again our slow blinker, blinked slowly.
With a QB and 2 linemen in the backfield, that leaves 8 to put on the LOS--if my math is correct

You may be on to something here Storm. As awful as our pass pro is maybe this will work on every passing down. 2 slots on LOS, 2 wide outs, 6 interior lineman and 2 lineman in the back field to help with protection. Boom
You must have 7, no more no less... I believe. Hell, the rules and formations change so much, I don't know anymore.
Someone smart in here knows.
Anyone see the end of the Buffalo/Tennessee game last night— just saying
GBR
That is incorrect. You can have as many on the line as you want. The problem of having more than 7 is it effects the number of eligible receivers.
