Is this Luke's team?
- Thread starter bigboxes
- Start date
Offense definitely feels different with him behind center. You can tell he’s still super green in the passing game but he’s got all the tools
I don't know that Luke makes smarter decisions, but he makes faster decisions. They need SOMETHING and his aggression can at least pressure the defense
This staff is a total disappointment. Multiple times to,step on psu throat. **** the bed,everytime. Maryland had there way with psu.
He'll get better with more reps. Not sure of his ceiling. It's still better than Amart. Gotta limit turnovers.
In the second half, where coaching and playing tell you a lot, Nebraska gets a big fat F so far.
players are like fans. The new shiny thing gives hope, until it breaks and proves that the system is broken and not just the qb. Anybody with a shred of knowledge about football would know that qb is the last thing we should be worrying about. We can't snap the ball consistently, we can get push off the line, we do not open holes for running backs, we are not consistent at wr in anyway...route running, catching, blocking. Luke isn't a thrower yet, so he really needs a dynamic running game. We don't have it. I would play both, and get luke at wr and rb for 15-20 snaps. Maybe even WR tosses.
Luke does not have the arm to be a great QB. Maybe Smothers will be capable of throwing the ball down field? If not, Frost may need to find a transfer QB for next year.
If you’re okay with the second half results. They spotted us 17. If you think the second was good offensively then sure. Love Luke but he’s a runner. Teams will put 9 in the box. He won’t last unfortunately.
So much wrongness in this post. His arm is ok, but he’s a winner. He could be a great qb at Nebraska. You were probably the same dork obsessed with TMarts throwing motion. Luke is a baller and is 1-0!!
Luke puts the sideline throws in a position where the receiver can catch it and make a move. Adrian puts it where the receiver either can't catch it or is immediately blasted upon catching the ball.
I agree he throws the quick out passes better. AM looks really tentative on the out passes.
Luke has the skills to run the 1990‘s teams, but unless we run a similar offense I don’t see him thriving. Like Frazier and Frost he is a running back playing QB. Frost needs to adjust his offense, not dump Luke.
