Decoding Langsdorf: Nebraska’s Gap Duo Blocking Scheme

The Huskers staple run is one of popularity, simplicity and power.

The cowboy poet Rudy Linstrom once said, “Texas is a desolate place. Dry, windy, hot and flat. It creates tough people. People who endure extremes. Only other place that comes to mind with tougher conditions, tougher people, and the requirement of greater resolve might be Nebraska.”

Because of the rugged nature of Nebraska as so eloquently stated by Rudy Linstrom, the good people of the state of Nebraska have always identified with the rugged nature of the running game, whether the running game be comprised of fullback traps, option quarterbacks, or homerun hitting I-Backs.

In fact, one could almost imagine that the great Nebraskan William Jennings Bryan would have stood at a pulpit, extolling and vigorously defending the virtues of displacing the line of scrimmage. From the pulpit, adjectives such as nasty, hard-nosed, and resolute would have flowed forth in an impassioned promotion of the running game.
