I have coached on teams that have had bad offenses. Good defenses can survive and win games if they are not set up to fail by offensive mistakes. We won our first two games this season against very good team and our offense garnered less than 200 yards in each game. But we didn't turn the ball over, and we played great special teams. It can be done.Right now we are suffering through average recievers and average back with a turnover nightmare at qb.
If we go with a distributor we at least have that. This may be an all time bad offense scoring wise even if we are successful in changing up qb's.
I endorse and fully support this line of thinking. Just find a way to win games. Ugly is perfectly acceptable.I think it depends on whether or not the defense continues to play at the level it played against Minnesota and the first half vs Colorado. That defense against the pedestrian Big 10 west offenses will keep Nebraska in almost every game except Michigan and maybe Wisconsin, if they get things going.
I guess I would side with just using Sims as a game manager for the next two games, assuming he is healthy enough to play. Run the ball 60 times vs Northern Ill. throw a few of mid to deep passes to keep the backers and safeties honest. Then go from there
