Head coach Matt Rhule and offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield have consistently spoken of building a positionless offense at Nebraska. Rhule has often talked of wanting to be the college version of the San Francisco 49ers. It’s not a surprise San Francisco is the template he’d like to mirror if that’s the ultimate vision of the offense.
Not only do the 49ers feature versatile, do-it-all playmakers like first-team All-Pros Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey and Kyle Juszczyk, they also have one of the best tight ends in the NFL in George Kittle – also first-team All-Pro – and Brandon Aiyuk, one of the best young receivers in the league as well.
Kyle Shanahan is one of the brightest offensive minds in all of football. He’s great at maximizing personnel and manipulating formations. There’s a reason more and more teams are adopting his outside zone scheme.
The 49ers are the most versatile offense in the NFL. This season they were No. 3 in the NFL in scoring and No. 2 in total offense. They were the leagues 3rd best rushing team and finished 4th in passing offense.
