They don't run the offense through the RB, OL and Te yet though. That is their problem. They can't score in the redzone. You have success in the redzone when you can run your normal offense in tight spaces wen the field shrinks.
Offense sounds like it's gonna be different

Nope, Gill didn't air it out more than Frazier, he was just more accurate
Frazier played in 35 games, threw it 469 times and hit on 50% of his throws
From his soph year on, Gill played in 35 games and threw it 428 times and hit on 54%
In fact, compared to Gill, Frazier had more completions, attempts, yards, TD and the same number of interceptions.

When was the last time Purdue won a conference championship and how many in the last 40 years? Get the point yet?
ok he was more accurate then....he seemed to connect with fryer for big plays more then frazier with mohamid, or miles, I forget
I think the main problem is alot of husker fans are probably newer and turn on the tv and go, hey, look at tom brady, lets do that!
but they don't understand what built NU football, be it the franklins, the craigs, roziers, the macovica, the dubois, the lp's etc..
they just look at guys named martinez and a love cloud of pass happy clouds their world.
sure we are losing games right and left, but BOMBS AWAY!
they can't comprehend running the ball, moving chains, clock control, 4th quarter..these are all strange foreign concepts to the new nebraska fan...

This offense isn't unique and it isn't new. It's used by college and high school teams all over the country. Why exactly do we require some unicorn quarterback but no one else does? Martinez would be just fine if he didn't make stupid decisions and he had some better line play. He's got plenty of talent for sure. Unfortunately he's got a cylinder misfire between the ears though.
Check out the last 10 years and the teams who won national titles. I can think of like 7 or 8 who are or have played in the NFL. Yeah, even the most talented teams need elite quarterbacks.
You'll never hear me saying I want a game manager, you win with elite quarterbacks.
You don't need an elite QB to win a conference title or even a national title. Alabama has won a national title with a game manager. Ohio State had a 3rd stringer lead them through the end of the season for a national title and he is no longer playing the sport of football anywhere anymore.
And no college football program that runs this retarded UCF/Oregon stuff has won a national title. And Alabama didn't run the UCF/Oregn offense when the current Ole Miss head coach was their OC.
I am beginning to think Trev has sabotaged Frost this whole year to make Frost look bad so he can say he gave Frost every shot and then fire him in 2023. Then Trev can hire his guy and we will appreciate anything that results in bowl games.
You can win with QBs without elite physical talents as long as they're an accurate passer who makes good decisions. You don't have to be an elite athlete to play QB in and option offense either. It helps, but Brook Berringer was far from an elite athlete and he did just fine. QBs who have it all, accuracy, good decision making, speed, are extremely rare. Frost needs to prioritize QB skills over athleticism IMO going forward.
? No, he’s been trying to help. The prior AD didn’t do anything, so Scott was doing it all. SF isn’t being sabotaged, but he is being held accountable and he’s getting some help.
SF looks miserable. Has all year. I think TA has SF walking on pins and needles. Questioning all his decisions.
When Nebraska is at the Same level across the field from skill position players to oline with the likes of Alabama then yes maybe a game manager will work at Nebraska. You are not comparing apples to apples to make what ever point you are trying to make.
Nebraska will never win a conference title again because of who the QB is. Nebraska will win a conference title when people turn their brain cells on and realize the offense needs to go through the OL, TE, and RB.
That Nebraska team isn't the greatest example of the norm. Some teams are just that good. We had Matt Turman doing just fine in that offense. Pre and post run with Matt Turman and it's probably not as pretty.
We could certainly win some games with a game manager but a game changer takes you to the next level. Oregon did a very good job at being competitive with QB'S who weren't what I'd call elite but they were very good college quarterbacks who made plays. I don't know if I'd call them game managers though. I'd rather see the best possible man on the field at a position that handles almost all the snaps.
Aside from the obvious candidate that is Helfrich, I think it'd be wise to snag someone like Korn from Coastal. Imagine how he could bring some ideas from their full house spread to Frosts Oregon spread. At least for red zone anyway. Similar to K State too having both FB and rb back there with the QB. Lots of different things you can do with that when the field shrinks and is less "spread" out.

From 2007-2012, Oregon finished in the top 10 in the nation in rushing yards per game every year.
The Oregon offense was built on 4 run plays, inside zone, outside zone, counter and draw. It involved double team blocks and getting the linemen to the second level. Seems like the more you try to add, the less effective the execution and results become.
Take Leach’s air raid system, it’s many basic plays ran out of multiple formations. Osborne had the same philosophy of using basic plays and blocking schemes, executing them to perfect and using formations to get advantages in numbers.
