[Husker] Dailey

Wed Feb 9 14:34:23 CST 2005

I don't know if it was necessarily bad play calling, poor execution, or 
great defense that hurt the offense last season.  It's easy to say "they 
should have called this or that", but none of us knows what information 
Callahan or Dailey had in those games (e.g. ISU , OU).  It is very possible 
that Callahan wanted to run a different game plan, but either the players 
weren't executing properly or the defensive schemes were such that the 
Huskers had to run something different.  Another possibility is that the 
defenses were disguised well enough to mess up any audibles or hot reads 
that Dailey might have had.  I suspect the slant patterns were taken away 
from the Huskers by cornerbacks playing the inside or maybe coaches and/or 
Dailey were afraid he wouldn't be able to throw over the linemen.

At any rate, last year is over.  I'm looking forward to a new season...one 
with a great showing by our Huskers.
