...like with any spread it tightens due to uncertainty...
The one thing that bodes incredibly well for us is Kain Colter is not the starting quarterback.
I just pray they use Colter exclusively at WR because Siemian is a true pocket passer which OBVIOUSLY plays right into Bo's hands.
Something I was thinking about yesterday as I watched the Baltimore Dallas game... One of the commentators was talking about how these days coaches try and get into the perfect look for every single play and more often than not it backfires. They try and over complicate things and it slows their players down.
We've heard it said many times that Bo does this exact thing. He wants the perfect call for every play. Well with these hurry up offenses you have Bo's kids running a complicated defensive scheme shuffling personnel in and out, making check after check after check...
It's time to SIMPLIFY things. The players heads are spinning out there.
That may be why spread teams have more success, because spread often goes hand in hand with hurry up.
Nap time part of NU's plan for Nebraska - chicagotribune.com
This is the result of the Sept. 15 game against Boston College, which also was a 2:30 start. NU coach Pat Fitzgerald noticed that his team came out sluggish, trailing 10-9 in the second quarter.
So he asked members of his Leadership Council: “What’s the deal? Why didn’t we start fast?”
They told him the game clashed with nap time.
NU players typically arrive at the team complex at 6:50 a.m. for meetings, practice from 8:50-10:30, attend class and then snooze in the early afternoon. So Saturday’s itinerary will call for an early breakfast and a nap at around 9:30 a.m. Fitzgerald almost could not believe he agreed to it.
“Unbelievable,” he said. “This is what I get paid to do. Seriously. Create nap time. It’s pathetic.”
A snooze-in at the team hotel six hours before kickoff? Quarterback Kain Colter loves the idea.
“We’ll wake up, have our pregame meal, do our mental things and then have a mandatory nap,” he said. “Those hotel beds are really comfortable and the pillows are soft ... (Then) we’ll come down refreshed and ready to kick some butt.”
Heard that on USC today.
“Unbelievable,” he said. “This is what I get paid to do. Seriously. Create nap time. It’s pathetic.”
