[Husker] Would you want Oregon's offense?

[Scott Stewart]

I personally would not like to see NU move toward an Oregon style offense.
Oregon moved toward this offense when they had Crowton as a offensive
coordinator (now at LSU).

I watched Crowton several years at BYU, and his offenses are all gimmick and
no substance. They were notorious for what was seen last night. Lots of
movement everywhere, but if you ask his team to get a yard they cannot do it
consistently. He relies on misdirection rather than blowing people off the
ball.

If I had a choice between the two offenses I would take Auburn's. (I am
biased Auburn Alum...War Eagle). They dominated the offensive and defensive
lines. They played ball control and defense. They were able to convert 3rd
and short consistently. They are not flashy, but got the job done. I think
that style fits with what BP has said he wants NU to do.

PS. I don't understand why the media cannot get "War Eagle" in the right
context. Last night the announcer had Coach Chizik shout out to his "Auburn
War Eagles." ?

War Eagle is a greeting/"battle cry." It is like when you meet a fellow
Husker in your travels and you say "Go Big Red." They know what you mean.
