Beck had issues no doubt. Play calling, lack of player development, an excuse for every mistake etc... I was not sad to see him go. Wish it had been sooner. Goes to OSU and blows junks with one of the most talent loaded teams in years. Doesn't give the ball to Elliot who lays this little gem heard for years by Husker faithful....
“The plays we ran (during the drive on which he scored the TD), we ran a lot of gap schemes, and we were gashing them ... and we had a lot of momentum,” Elliott said. “Honestly, we didn’t see those plays at all for the rest of the game. Those plays weren’t called any more. I asked for those plays to be called, and they weren’t.”
Beck could never get out of his way. He would have some insane call that had fans going wild in delight, only to follow it up with the most bone headed play calling known to man kind.
The difference in NU and OSU? They have the talent and HC to hide his stubbornness/inexperience. He reminds me of a recruit who is an outstanding "athlete" or a draft pick with an "upside". He does flash brilliance, but over shadowed by his lack of experience and inability to get out of his own way. This is where HC matters. Urban can teach, tutor and bring along. Just winder how much patience Urban has. A lot less than NU thats for sure.
