Yes thought we should have hired him instead of Riley. However, it wouldn't be all that bad if we hire him for next season and he was able to get 2 years of head coaching experience under his belt. So if Nebraska plays this right it all might work out for the better.
I was leery about that lightweight run-around stuff Oregon was doing working in The BIG , but seeing his emphasis at UCF has changed my opinion on what he's after. In hindsight it seems like a no-brainer.
Thanks for the link. I noticed the UCF 2018 commit list on the right. We've been wasting our time with 4 & 5 star recruits if you can have a 25th ranked team with 2 & 3 stars. Fix that and Riley will win the west!
I noticed that too. College rankings are kinda subject to the whims of coaches and sports writers. But it makes you wonder.
Take what seriously?
You have a point, but that offense is all 'check with me' and RPO. It basically takes whatever the defense gives instead of needlessly pre-structured plays that take very little of the opponent's scheme into account.
+1. This is so funny Red Five; I was just coming here to post the same thing!
222 yd/game rushing. This season, UCF has 2 less yards (889 vs. 891) rushing in 4 games then us in 6 games. Also:
UCF's starting QB is averaging nearly 300 yards per game on 25 pass attempts per game. Don't confuse successful passing with an offense that doesn't run the ball. The ability to hit the big play from an RPO or play action pass is built off a successful run game.
I was going to see how long this would go till someone finally said something like this. Great post
It's such a silly argument to say that because UCF is able to be super efficient in the passing game that they don't commit to the run. NU has a coach who tries to say he wants balance, but has one of the most inefficient offenses I have seen.
