what type of offense does Northern Illinois run? Pro? Spread? If not's spread and rely's heavily on the RB, then you are dunzo. You will be served and still be in shock when you play OU.

We don't run a spread offense. We run one of the most "NFL systems" you will see in college. We hardly ever go 4 WR, we never use a FB, we go 2 tight ends with 1 or 2 WR, we go 3 WR, we never run the option, we don't normally go shotgun (although I have read we might use it more).

Really it has no gimmics. Now that I say this we will probably run some gimmic against you. lol

It could be different this year because we have the most talented and fast offense we've ever had.

Just to clear this up, the original post said that if NIU doesn't run a spread offense, then NIU will still be in shock when you play OU (as in Ohio University). He wasn't implying that Ohio will beat NIU's asses up and down the field. He was implying that Ohio State will beat NIU's asses up and down the field, and NIU won't have recovered in time for the OU game.

Thank you Zurp. That is what I meant. I am not predicting an OU win over NIU. OU is looking at another 4-8 season. I'm just hoping that the Huskies will still be hurting from the previous week, which is pretty much a given. That would create some hope for OU. Hopefully Bower will be starting then (Bower transferred from the Illini). If NIU tries to run the ball on the Bucks, they will get banged up and hurt. You're only hope is passing the ball. Since you don't run spread, OSU will be able to lock up on your receivers, your QB will then get eaten alive by Wilson, Gohlsten, Richardson, etc.

so you run a pro style offense..thank you. that's all you had to say. you run a pro style offense, meaning you will hand the ball to your RB the entire game or throw the ball to him. that's all you had to write.
