Lol. This dude literally has no idea what he’s talking about, he just doesn’t like CGC is all. But he is somewhat right. Nebraska did run a version of the 3O through 2003, but their 3O was based way closer to a pro-style offense than what CPJ and his protégés run. They ran the 3O out of the I-formation, with blocking schemes not much different than what a tradition pro style offense would’ve ran at the time. Their offense was almost never run out of the wishbone or flexbone, and their linemen were much more well versed in pass blocking than what CPJ’s style of the 3O required. You can actually watch highlights of their games and see that they were running read options and RPOs in 2003 that are the basis of modern spread style offenses. You can watch 2003 Nebraska highlights and probably not know that they were considered an “option team” if you weren’t already aware. They basically ran a modern offense primarily in the I instead of the shotgun. CPJ’s style of the 3O is instantly recognizable as different, and it’s very easy to see that the basis and fundamentals of the offenses are different. This guy just loves CPJ and hates CGC, which is ok honestly. But it gets annoying. Especially when he’s harping over something he’s clearly not well versed in.When is it you’re talking about, when Osborne stepped down? And they never ran a 3O based offense under Osborne either.
Watch these highlights and tell me that Nebraska is running the same offense that CPJ does. But here’s a hint: they’re not.
Also, take note of the body styles and size of their OL. It’s not even remotely close to what GT had in 2019. And like I said in a previous post, Nebraska was one of the best teams in the country at the time. Not a mediocre ACC team that had a losing record against P5 teams.
