I did not want to be negative. Right now we do not know what it will be like next year. I have hopes,

We will see for sure this year and going forward if his offensive philosophy will work with pro style QB's. This is a wait and see thing. I'm willing to give it a chance.

We need a dual threat q-back who can throw or run to get out of the pocket, I do not want to see a 70% passing game.

Absolutely not, it will not work at nebraska because it is a low populated cold weather state and NO ONE can load up on 5 star talent tat NU to compete with the other schools in the high populated warm weather areas.. We need to be unique again in what we do and have the entire state supporting it.

I prefer the run offense, wear 'em down and win in the 4th quarter. A mobile QB that can pass accurately as well as get out of trouble and run.

I am unsure that the way Riley seems to be going with the offense is the right way. All of the top teams in the country last year had a dual threat QB and that is for a reason: It's hard to defend 11 guys than just 10. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

We didn't run the ball effectively with players that can run in 2016. We will be pass oriented in 2017. If we don't get more proficient at the run we are going to be hurting. I don't care if you run the ball 50% of the time, it all fails if you can't get yardage with the run. 3rd & long in 2017.

Unless you have talent like USC, you need a QB who can run in college football today.

With our offensive lines of recent years a drop back passing QB will be meat for other teams defenses to eat up

Pro style offenses have been solved. Their success relies heavily on a very high level of nationally coveted talent which makes consistency an issue even for teams that have every recruiting advantage. There are other more college friendly schemes that get better results from less talent.

I have had problems with the consistency of play calling. I will say I probably will like the first couple of years better than what is coming... I like a mobile QB who can throw the ball on the move and run the option. I like to see a QB who can run play action and go deep. Speed and power! GBR

Old, slow and predictable. No misdirection. Averages slightly over two plays a minute - one of the slowest in the country. No one is surprise by what we do.

I could change my mind after it seeing it ran by a true passing qb but from the little we saw of it, it looks like big 10 defenses already know how to shut it down.

Osborne tried a passing offense in 1973 to 1979. Did not work in the plaines.

What Osborne and the 70's have to do with it? LOL

What's your reaction to the Huskers' switch to rugby-style punting?

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
