You really shouldn't have, I feel bad for you...

Throwing the ball to a receiver pass the marker is the QB's decision so I hope you're not trying to change the discussion.

So here's some proof of what I'm saying, hard evidence from the first game (1H only) against Memphis, since you brought it up.

3rd and long, 2 receivers short of the marker


3rd and long, threw well short of the marker


3rd and long (goal, from the 20ish) and here's a receiver short of the goal

In this latest picture, the ball was thrown to a receiver (actually to the defender) in the end zone.

Receivers, in all offenses, purposely run short of the marker. It's drawaing defenders away from other areas of the field where rhey4may be stretching or running someone under the stretch. You have misplaced disgust at Nebraska's receivers, like Keith taught them someting that doesn't happen in every single offense.

Or, you're gonna have misplaced disgust at coach Walters too.

@frostonthegrass since you liked his post, I'm making sure you see the proof of what's been stated instead of misleading information from hf66.
I agree. I think it's more Tanner Lee's fault for throwing it to those underneath receivers when he should have thrown to another receiver.

Not a big fan of throwing to a guy short of the sticks on a 4th and long, unless the game is all but over, at all if he isn't double trailer wide open or beating his man toward open field enough for a 1st down.

I could see it if the game is within 3 points and you can get good field goal position.

Other than that I would have to assume it was just better than taking a sack or frankly a bad choice.

Dubs opened my mind up to the field stretching angle, which I took as part of the play design. I'm not sure if those short routes are meant to be viable options if I am a QB though if your man is covered like a biscuit at an IHOP.

WCO is your answer on the short stuff..

I can understand Frost bringing in coaches he is comfortable with. However I'm a bit surprised the entire coaching staff from UCF is coming. Even Devaney kept two assistants from the Jennings regime on staff. I guess we will know in a few years how this all works out.
After hearing and seeing what the players have been saying since Coach Riley was relieved of his duties, I think a total change out of coaching staff is the right thing to do.

Will we know for sure how it turns out, you are right, it will take a few years. But there is no guarantee by keeping a couple of coaches from the last staff would have worked out either.

And it sure didn't work out having them on the Staff we just Fired.

I wish them all well. I am just happy that they are all gone. The good coaches will find another school, the not so good ones may not.

My guess is Lubbock, but Frost calls the plays so it's an "eye in the sky" position that comes with a lot of money. Laughing
It's an on the field coaching role. Very Important. Coach Frost calls the plays, but Coach Walters is much more important than an "eye in the sky". :)

Do you really think he would leave and sit out a year? I know he was close to KW, but you have to think he is close to his teammates and friends at NU too.
I think we will see what kind of man KW is and we'll see how this particular player responds after meeting with Coach Frost and his new position coach.

I'd have to believe this player would have to be thrilled with the idea of playing in this offense.

We'll see though.

Spielman is a perfect fit for Frost's offense. I expect him to be featured and it would be a huge mistake for him to leave.
Agreed with the perfect fit in Frost's offense. I think that will be one of the reasons for him to stay.

Scott Frost's resume, age, national acclaim and the positive energy he brings is going to make a difference with many of the kids that would consider transferring.

I do believe there will be players leaving the team though. I don't know Spielman, but I don't think he will be one of them.
