You had the biggest and the strongest (even inventing and innovating to make them football strong) wanting to all be at the same place doing the same thing. That thing became unique, to the point that a given opponent had to specifically design a defense in order to even have a chance.

When Leach took OU into the 5-wide era, Big 12 teams had to decide if they wanted to recruit to stop OU's bazillion receivers or UNL's monsters.

I remember watching the Huskers trying not to run the score up on Baylor. They were running nothing but the HB dive in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Baylor was so beaten up and gassed that they could barely even get in the way.

Heh. Could be, could be...

But I was actually referring to the Huskers' strength and conditioning program itself that created very different ways to train football players. They stopped simply building big bodies with bench presses and leg lifts and started targeting specific small muscle groups and core pairs. By doing so, they got guys who were both strong enough to maul, but quick enough to find their man. A lot of training techniques we consider commonplace now days were pioneered by Big Red.

Yeah, about that Strength and Conditioning Program at Nebraska in the 90s...

...TCU has been running a very similar program since Patterson took over.  

Take from that statement what you will...

obviously S&C will continue to evolve, but I'm not sure we will see quantum leaps such as what Boyd Epley pioneered, that other programs take years to recognize and catch up

but, the SEC is slow....  it took them a decade or two to adopt real offenses

it moved the ball - Chase Young didn't know what to do

Does Texas fire Tom Herman if they lose this Saturday in Waco?  I mean, if he's 6-5 why wait another year?  Texas has the cash to hire a couch like Mike Stoops.

I keep having to add more cache for 320's proclamations.

6-6?  So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu.

I don't think TH is gone at 6-6, either.

But I'm not CDC so...

As the donors go, so goes the employment.

CDC just got an extension, and he's building a ton of stuff. There are enough valid reasons for a bad season right now not to arbitrarily condemn a coach still under contract. This type of talk is natural when Texas isn't winning, but not realistic.
