Thanks to questioning from Lincoln Journal Star’s sports staff, we now know Shawn Watson doesn’t need a catchy name for his offensive unit or scheme.
Nebraska used to run the option.
Then came the West Coast offense.
What exactly are we supposed to call it under first-year coordinator Shawn Watson?
“The Nebraska offense,” Watson quickly retorted after Friday’s spring practice inside of Memorial Stadium.
Watson was trying to be humorous in his response while also trying to get his point across.
“Everybody, stop trying to name it! Geez … everybody wants to put a name on it around here. It’s the Nebraska offense. How’s that? Sounds good to me.”
He paused and took a breath before finishing his minirant:
“I get asked that all the time. It’s the Nebraska offense.”
Duly noted.
