This style of offense

To me it seems like Langsdorf is trying to run an offense similar to what the Packers and Giants are currently doing in the NFL. Both teams for the last 5 years or so always seemed to be next to last in rushing offense. So I'm not holding out any hope that Nebraska will ever have a rushing game under Riley.

The problem is that this offense seems to require exceptional talent to run properly. If you have a Hall of Fame QB, a top 5 WR, and a great offensive line then it can hide your lack of run game. If you have an bad OL, then you end up in a mess like Nebraska and the Giants are in right now. And you can't recruit that type of talent if you are only winning 7-8 games a season. That is why I think Riley will never be able to be successful here.
 
totally agree with this. It's a misfit for us. Announcers keep saying how similar we are to Wisconsin. WTF? I don't see it. Langs is a pass first pro coach. He needs to be an NFL assistant. Just not a fit.
