From Randy Yorks N-Sider:
Pelini Enjoys Mad Scientist Role, Says Blackshirts Could Have Best Defense - Huskers.com - Nebraska Athletics Official Web Site
Q: Go to the other side of the ball and talk about a fellow Youngstown native. Did you weigh in with Bo on the decision to hire Tim Beck? What are you expecting from him as offensive coordinator, and will this offense be more physical and more power-oriented?
A: Absolutely I weighed in. Let me put it this way. I believe right now, with the staff we have in place, we have a culture that pervades the entire team. There's no split. Our team is unified. What Tim is going to bring to that side of the ball is a demand for perfection. Obviously, it's hard to achieve perfection, but you can still demand it. I'm excited about eliminating mistakes, stupid penalties and turnovers. I think the offense under Tim will be very well thought out. I think he looks at football very much the way we do - studying an opponent and understanding where and how you want to attack. Finding a weakness and having the ability to get in and out of an offense is how you take advantage of what a defense is doing. I think we're going to see all of those things. But what it's going to come down to for us is a continued focus on the fundamentals of the game. That's something we always try to do on the defensive side. Before we do anything else, we try to make sure we're good tacklers, good with our hands and stay low - things you learn in youth football. I think fundamentals can get lost in an offense. You can't stay multiple and forget the basics of the game. That's something Tim gets, and I'm excited about that. It's going to be a physical, competitive spring for both sides of the ball. I'm excited about all of this development, and I want to watch it all come to life as much as anyone. I'm excited about the offense having the same mentality we have. I love the dialogue that's going on between the offensive side of the ball and the defense. As we go through spring, I think it's going to make everybody better. It's going to make the offense better because they're going to look at themselves in a different way, and I think it's going to make us better on defense. As they scheme against us, I'm sure they'll expose some of our weaknesses. So it's going to be good for both sides.

The bold part made me overly excited. Cannot wait till the spring game.
