Down field passes?!

[Bigredhunter]

I don’t know what it is but It seems like we’ve only thrown 3 or 4 passes over 20 yards the past couple of games.

We are so conservative. I know Frost knows his stuff but I don’t get this game plan.

 

[HuskerLegion]

I was thinking the same thing. There is just one problem. The o line cant block tackling dummies.

 

[Mr.Scary13]

There is no qb on the roster capable of throwing down field. This will be a theme with any defense with a pulse. They know Nebraska cant throw the ball except for shorter routes.

 

[Headcard]

Not sure we have time to do it. Honestly

 

[SoFL Husker]

Cant get separation, and can't move the defensive line, roll-outs are dangerous and Michigan isn't buying any mis-direction.

AM can but he has no time. Maybe the o line should fall down and trip the d line every play.

Marty can throw down field if he has time. Did you watch the cu game?

He has shown absolutely nothing that would scare a d coordinator on downfield routes.

Disagree. Michigan is just doing what Troy did...blitz up front, man to man on wr’s and two safeties over the top. They’re banking on us not being able to pick up a blitz and they’re right. They’re playing the run and the deep ball. We haven’t thrown down field because they’re taking it away with pressure and playing deep.

We'll see. Every team in the Big will crowd everything underneath and dare AM to throw the ball. Might as well be prepared.
