You guys probably knew this already, but Shawn Watson is the new O-Coordinator. I think he’ll be great. He was very good at Colorado. They sure put a thumping on us in 2001 when he was there.
I like these words from Watson…
Quote:
“Championships are won through running the ball and stopping the run,” he said. “That’s a test of a man’s will.”
Watson called essentially all the plays at Colorado as the Buffaloes showed flexibility in adapting to talent on hand. For instance, Colorado featured a punishing ground attack in 2001 — the Buffaloes buried the Huskers 62-36 thanks largely to 380 rushing yards — but became more passing-oriented in 2003, when they ranked 18th nationally at nearly 280 passing yards per game… You have to have creativity in using your talent,” Watson said. “Schematics and tactics are important, but it’s mostly driven by personnel.”
If Calli cuts him loose, I think we’ll see the ‘Skers pounding defenses into submission with the run, and then going deep on their arse with the PA pass more than we saw last year… A little less West Coast and a little more Midwest could lead to a lot more Ws for the boys in Crimson and Cream!
