It seems in Riley's/Langsdorf scheme, our receivers are rarely wide open.

Lee is almost almost always throwing into tight spaces.

BTW, I think Tanner Lee has as good of an arm as anyone in College football.

I do too, but Lee will throw without looking at coverage on the receiver half of the time, explains his 13 or 14? picks this year

We only have two WR with separation speed and they are both Freshman (1-RsFr & 1-true)
And people will ***** when they recruit receivers. Only in Nebraska can you think you can win at the level most fans want to without play-making type receivers.

He is the 74th rated QB in Division 1 currently, out of 126 who qualify for the stat, solidly in the lower half. Third from last in the Big 10.

Receivers issue is bull they get open otherwise ,we would not have two of the leading receivers in the big 10 on a one dimensional team. The size of DPE and Spielman, Lindsey makes tight coverage with two yards of separation risky. Our Lack of running game and screen game means many teams scheme for our two and three receivers sets. TEs just now started showing up has helped some Basiically we have to improve at the point of attack and run better inside outside runs.Then execute screens to loosen up coverage. Extra people drift into lanes because they can abandon the run. Makes screens less effective and crossing routes tough. If we had a running game, it would open up many more lanes in the passing game.

If this is a WCO that we run then it is a nickel and dime passing offense The vertical game isn't used as often as the horizontal is. We apparently like to play in traffic..

No deep threats, even if we wanted to.

You would be surprised at what a well executed offense would produce. Again, if it's a WCO the horizontal passing game to stretch the defense would cause them to adjust and then the vertical game opens up due to the defenses adjustment. Much like running the ball to open up play action, a short passing game opens up the deep stuff. If the nickel and dime stuff isn't working well than running and the deep stuff wont either.

But right now defenses aren't afraid of us going over the top and they don't respect the run. Jamming wr's on the line and tight windows underneath.
