anybody else notice all our qbs are pro style?

- Start date
Well it does bring up a pertinent point for the guys that Riley canned tonight and Frost to be here in the morning.....He would have a problem running his offense for a while as in maybe a couple of years.
Doesn't matter. New coach should be able to get it done in year 3. No excuses!!!
Precisely why suddenly converting back to a triple option attack will set the program back 3 more years.

The OP waited almost 13 years to come up with this first post...
No kidding!
I really am impressed with that..
It's almost like the staff picked an offense and recruited players who were a fit for it. World gone mad.

Sounds about like the "Nebraska Way"
Pretty sure both POB and Gebbia are decent runners. More than capable of scrambling for decent yardage if there's nothing but green field in front of them (and adding the zone read back to our repertoire would help our 3rd down and Red Zone troubles immensely).
Passing qbs and spread offenses aren't mutually exclusive. In terms that dingle will understand... a pro style qb can be very successful in a spread offense

goff seems ok in year 2

If you want to recruit elite quarterbacks, it does. If you want to recruit high school safeties and try to turn them into option quarterbacks then no.
Do colleges recruit hs QBs to play in college or play or the NFL? Plenty of successful college players that never sniff the NFL.
The team should, at the very least, show progress. Even in a transition year. It shouldn't regress in basically all facets of the game.
I still feel people complete ignore Riley's decades of head coaching performance prior to Nebraska. That certainly doesn't help with the patience factor. For me, at least.
It shouldn't but if going into year 3 and we're not getting the results we want, no excuses and he's got to go.
The Cornhuskers sure won a lot of games with safeties playing quarterback. I don't care how many quarterbacks Nebraska puts into the NFL. That doesn't put trophies in the case. Nebraska is a college program. What matters is winning games with the red "N" on the helmet.
Putting guys in the pros matters only because it helps recruiting, but even then I'm not so sure about that. Every DT recruit in the country said Suh was his favorite player, and still Nebraska struggled to recruit them after Suh was gone. So the impact of that may be minimal.

Consider the guys recruiting the position immediately after Suh and you will find your answer as to why we didn’t recruit the position better...
