Yeah, we'd never want to run an offense like this at Nebraska. A collection of Paul Johnson coached offenses at Georgia Southern, Hawaii and Navy. By the way, isn't that Adrian Peterson run towards the end just amazing?

Yes, the Peterson run is actually known as "The Run".

I saw it live because I went to Georgia Southern and follow them to this day, though I am distraught over no longer running the flexbone there. Now we look like "just another team", as you have stated about Nebraska woeful WCO. I transferred to GT in 1992 and got my E.E. degree there.
Obviously I am also a huge Yellow Jacket fan and since I knew ALL about Paul Johnson from his first Georgia Southern COLLEGE stint (they were just a college then) under Erk Russell, with PJ leading the Hambone (flexbone with Tracey All-world Ham at QB), and then PJ back resurrecting GSU back to prominence after a few ho-hum years in the mid 90s.
We at GT were disgusted by no progress under Chan Gailey. Beat the creampuffs, but always find a way to lose the close ones. We always had a sinking feeling against our arch-rivals UGA. We played them close EVERY year, even though they had top 5 recruiting classes year after year, but we managed to get beat in the 4th quarter when it mattered. Chan and the offense were too predictable, run, run, pass.
I was already primed to hear that GT would hire some questionable coordinator from a big name school (kind of like Pelini). There was talk of Muschamp from Auburn and a few others, including our own grumpy DC Jon Tenuta. I just knew we would not hire PJ because our boosters or AD would be too scared of the risk involved in moving to an option based attack in a major conference. I have to hand it to Radakovich (http://ramblinwreck.cstv.com/genrel/radakovich_dan00.html), as he had the guts to make the offer and Tech nation will be better off for it. Hey, we Techies are in need of a football fix because we went to a school that was about 85-15 in the male-female ratio, so lets just say we need other outlets because hooking up wasn't very likely. They finally brought in a "management" degree some years back in order to help with athletic recruiting and I should think to help get a few more females on board. For some reason the chicks don't dig engineering, math and science. Stupid really, girls could have their pick of brainiacs destined to have uber successful careers.
