If the qb can run, of course. And TA is a powerful runner who can be very effective.

Use Armstrong's strength.

Makes sense with Armstrong as starter &. Bush as back up. Switch to QB pro set in 2017.

Depends on who is at QB. Obrien, then no. If he is returning senior then YES.

With a talent like TA, limiting his passing, and his reads, should be tantamount for this coaching staff. Their jobs depend on at least 8 wins this coming year. That depends on limiting TA's interceptions.

I felt this past season with the new OC he tried to make our team into something that were not, a pass team, 60%! That's not who this team is or past teams in our history. The running game is the HEART of Neb. HUSKER, you run to set up the passing game not the other way around.

It makes the offense so much harder to defend, especially if you have someone that can run like TA..

Running the ball is what Armstrong excels at and it gives a plus one blocking advantage to the offense. Win win if you ask me.

What ever helps us win. If passing is not better then more running.

No, keep his running limited! Is it me or did anyone watch the UCLA game.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go
