What kind of offense does Nebby run?

Maybe Nebby will come up with an "eight in the box" defense for Iowa and Wisky.

Definitely didn't work against Washington in the Holiday Bowl. Nebby had 268 yards of rushing offense jammed up their *****.

I posted on this awhile back, I took a look at our D backs 40 time and compared it to Nebraskas "speed demon" t-mart, I think they are in for a surprise. One question the B10 has approx 6 teams running the spread, where are they ranked in the conference? It can be done, in this conference, but is very hard.

40 times are not the best way to gauge speed, as there are different ways to clock a 40. Also, there is 40 time, and there is football speed.
T. Pryor reported runs a 4.2 40, while T. Martinez has a 4.5 40 listed. I would bet that either Martinez or Meetchicken's Robinson are faster than Pryor.

Also, I would not look at your DBs 40 times vs. T-Mart's 40. When he was healthy, T-Mart was flat out fast. Period. Get him in open space, take the wrong angle, and he was gone.

As for the OP, DONU wants to run an Oregon-style spread attack.

In the Holiday Bowl, the D was set to stop the pass, which we did. Still gave up only 17 points. If the O didn't suck, it would have been fine. However, the rush D was somewhat of a concern all year. It has something to do with the scheme, I'm sure Bo will figure out a 4-3 to face more run based offenses.
