[Husker] KU/ISU

[Kenneth McKillip]

That old offense did a LOT better against KU than the Callahan offense did -
with substantially less talent.  If ISU would have had a healthy back like
Ross it would have made a big difference.

The Aggies went back to a similar offense and gave Texas much more than
expected.

To me, it was pretty watching Brandon Jackson run with the line dominating
at the end of the CU game.

I have always believed you need a clear philosophy - whether is it the BC
WCO, the TO offense with a mobile QB, the Spurrier offense, the Leach
offense. Etc.  Those that have that clarity about what they want to do can
continually refine it, recruit for it, and turn it into a huge advantage.

Same goes for defense - McBride's defense with the speed at OLB, man
coverage, and penetrating DL or Pellini's zone coverage/set the linebackers
up to make all the tackles approach.

If the Husker have one thing going for them it is that BC has this clarity
about his offense.  I'm not sure Cosgrove does.  I think this is Stoop's
problem - it certainly isn't talent.

I haven't been convinced that the game has passed TO's offense by or that it
is boring.

I would be turned on by the new Huskers if, like the Heritage Huskers, they
establish a competitive advantage that stands the test of time and if they
continue the tradition of doing things right - academic excellence,
continuity (coaches, philosophy)/long term dominance.

One game hasn't convinced me.  I still disagree with firing a new 10-3
staff.  But I do like BC's philosophical clarity.  He needs to quit calling
opponents names and throat slashing - i.e., have the class that TO and FS
showed and he will be on the right path.  SP is a different story.

So, CU made it to the conference champsionship; again.
 
Kind of backed in I would say since ISU beat 'em 3 weeks ago. 
 
Glad we don't have the Cotton offense at NU anymore; the OT against KU
looked like old times to me.
 
BC may or may not do the job only time will tell, but his offense makes it
interesting; more than can be said for ISU who had the championship handed
to by the Huskers and, and, and....
 
Hopefully, Texas will beat the vermin like an old rug, but that probably
wouldn't be any worse than we beat 'em yesterday. Maybe the CU students, if
you can call them that, will find something a little more innovative to
throw on the field in Texas than they did in Boulder, but I wouldn't count
on it; they will never be in there with the Duke kids that is for sure, IQ
or othrwise.
 
Overall, things are looking up for the Huskers. If they continue to execute
BC's offense the opposition won't know what hit 'em. If they don't we lose.
My guess is we win, but who knows anymore.
