[Husker] Nebraska offense - football

[jon johnston]

The thing about Greg Mays (and I don't want to detract what he did for  
the list because i enjoyed it too) and offensive expertise that used  
to exist is that the offense we run these days is incredibly complex.  
Some of that is a reflection of Bill Callahan, but it seems to be  
common with most offenses these days. They've changed quite a bit. Not  
only that, but from our standpoint, Nebraska ran the same offense for  
quite a long time and the theory behind the offense was execution.  
Nowadays, offenses are trying to move people around to get mismatches,  
and force the defenses into back tackling in space (like we saw WAY  
TOO MUCH OF last season).

Or maybe that it's that we haven't kept up. I haven't decided yet. :)

Anyway, Watson says we're going to be running basically the same  
offense. Yet, we're going to also run the spread. And we're going to  
add some power running. People made the point that Callahan's offense  
was too complex for the college game, yet Watson says we're not going  
to change much. Now, maybe he can reduce the complexity and the number  
of plays, but how is he going to do that yet at the same time add  
different formations unless those were already part of the playbook?
