Young teams dont happen to everybody when you running a proper program, we basically had a whole offensive rehaul, i know you got enuff sense to understand that much about football. If you been around football long enuff, defenses are normally ahead of the offenses early on, unless of course you are of the penn disgrace moron variety, so thinking a True guard playing college tackle for the first time, a below avg right tackle now being moved to left tackle, Jahir jones( the robert knowles of the o-line) and hayden my mahoney has a first name, than add to that blocking group 2 True freshmen tightends, WTH you think an offense with that type of personnel is going against solid defenses. Now add in the injuries, mix that with a bunch of True freshmen wideouts and to top it all off, below avg qb play, again WTH is an offense going with all that mixed in.
That's how you know coach richt is a good oc, he had to call plays around all of that. Now of course coach richt cant say it, but this year was more about getting guys on offense playing time and experience, and getting guys use to the type of offense we will be running here. Alot of those play calls, coach richt put it on the players to make a play, as a player and team, that's what you want if you are a competitor. Is coach richt perfect, by no means, but he's aggressive and battles and goes after any team, no matter the opponent. So alot of what im telling you, and of course better players help with playcalling, but more importantly than better players is better players who have matured physically and mentally. Dont matter how much talent you got in football, you wont do alot of blossoming unless you are physically and mentally ready, brad kaaya was, Ahmon richards was, navaugh donaldson was, when you trying to rely on True freshmen to much, whatever unit it is, will probably not be that good, the potential will show from time to time, but not on a regular basis!
