The Cornhuskers still emphasize the run, as they did during Steele's five seasons as an assistant at Nebraska. The Cornhuskers can pass the ball when they need to. They're just doing it exceptionally well right now. Offensively, Nebraska is rolling. This is the most difficult offense I've ever defended.
People have the perception of the offense as the option, but they've got a little of everything.
Baylor didn't win in the Big 12 last season and has yet to do so in three conference games this year. The Bears have been shut out in their last two games. Nebraska had been a little inconsistent in the first five games, but a team meeting called by the captains last week seemed to change that. We decided it was time to start playing like a national-championship caliber team. The Huskers lead the nation in rushing and are third in total offense at 497.8 yards per game.
