Nebraska Football: 5 reasons Scott Frost will return Cornhuskers to glory

4. Explosive offense

It’s no coincidence that many of Frost’s coaching stops have resulted in big time offensive numbers. During his tenure under Chip Kelly and Mark Helfrich, Frost was a key part of the explosive Oregon offenses that revolutionized college football offenses with their sheer speed and quickness. Frost brought a little bit of that “Nebraska mentality” to his players as well, being noted of developing very good blocking receivers while he was receivers coach, which is a crucial part to any offense.

The year before Frost arrived at Central Florida, the Knights offense was the 126th rated offense out of 128 FBS teams, averaging only 268.4 yards per game and scoring 13.9 points per game. This past season, the Knights boasted the #1 offense in all of college football, averaging 530.9 yards per game and averaging a mind-boggling 48.2 points per game.

Frost’s offensive philosophy will be sure to excite Husker fans, who long of the days when Nebraska used to score 40-50 points a game with ease. It may not be in the hard-nosed, option style Husker fans remember, but it’s still going to come with the speed they once had.
