Nobody runs the WCO anymore. At the same time, everybody runs the WCO.
After 35 years, coaches have picked up the WCO elements they like and bring in their own pieces, as coaches have done forever. For some reason they don't get obsessed with naming it. If you see teams that swap a few safe running plays for high percentage short and mid-range passing plays that spread the field, you're watching WCO principals at work. It revolutionized football to the point where it's taken for granted.
I can't name the specific philosophy of what Riley and Langs are trying to do from one play to the next, but again, they are among the Top 3 in the Big 10 in Total Offense, Scoring Offense, Third Down Conversion and Time of Possession, so your premise that it's merely random and clueless only plays to your dislike of Nebraska's coaching hire.
Are you suggesting that the WCO is a "pick a play out of the bag" system? Jesus, you don't know football.
As I recall, your premise is that the WCO is dying, which is why Nebraska needs to run an offense more like Navy's.
For some reason you don't delve into the dying popularity of run-first offenses, which is far more traceable than the history of the WCO, an offense you clearly don't understand.
And the original post tries to connect a single interception of Matt Ryan's to the difficulty elite pros, much less college players have, making basic reads in these scary and complicated passing schemes. You're really off the rails at this point.
There are four elite teams left in this college football season. You wouldn't call any of them pass-happy, and god-forbid you'd credit the WCO influence, but Clemson averaged 34 pass attempts a game, Oklahoma averaged 33 pass attempts a game, and MSU and Alabama both averaged 30 pass attempts a game. These are teams that can pass and run and bring multiple weapons to both approaches, and who knows what play Saban or Swinney will pull out of his bag?
The name of their offensive philosophy is Winning.
They are run by college quarterbacks who make basic reads and have since they were playing Pop Warner, because the forward pass is not the enemy of football. The good quarterbacks also throw fewer interceptions than our quarterback, and enjoy defenses that hold the opponent to less than 28 points a game.
