Imagine if NU ever committed to that.  You know, have an identity based in 12 personnel, heavy sets, traps and counters, PA passing, rolling QB outside pocket etc.....

• Run the ball
  
• Control the clock
  
• Wear down the defense over 4 quarters
  
• Play-action pass.
  
• Play the field position game
  
• Play good special teams
  

This philosophy still works IF we would just commit to it.

[3gunhusker]

Hey-the snaps are better

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

O-line is so soft. Where's the conditioning program we've heard so much about?

 

[Redux]

That is such a chickenss#!t flag

 

[The Duke]

The sooner we get away from the Shotgun running plays the better.
