Opinions of the offense?

[prg3Kane]

Is this what we've wanted for almost generation? Not saying good or bad, but def. a mixed performance. Our RB's are absolutely CFB elite level. Amazing game from them. This offense still had only about 20 minutes of good football, including a total fizz out in the 4th quarter. It showed what it was capable of in that 3rd quarter, though. Mixed feelings.

For me, too soon to judge.

 

[Baba Yaga]

It was the ugliest 500+ yards of offense I've ever watched.

 

[ageezy]

i'll take it for the first game ... the oline seemed in shape ... i think we'll get sharper as the year wears on

Its boring for What its worth

OL have no mass or power. We'll need to get a bit more creative but we know we have the backs.

 

[wacane]

Too soon to tell. I expected rust and that’s what we saw

 

[Lokest]

rhett copied richts homework

 

[Suhrthing]

Cant pass... yet.

 

[CaneDog66]

Too soon for me to judge. But we’ll need to be better next weekend versus Louisville. I did like the OL blocking and the RB’s doing a ton of damage on the ground tho

I feel like to start the second half they were throwing more and once we took the lead they were running too much.

Uptempo Richt err i mean Lash did not impress. Lets hope the ol "saving the playbook" crap is true otherwise that was ugly.

How in the **** can anyone who watched last years performance complain about anything this offense did tonight? Lol you guys are nuts.

 

[Mrfree]

3rd and ten


Run up the middle

This will be the offense. King really wont be asked to throw more than 25 to 30 times.

I hate to throw in a tired trope, but it was pretty clear Lashlee was holding back w the play calling.

What impressed me was the organization. No one really looked lost out there. Not sure we got a false start penalty.

Honestly, I'm more worried about the defense.

Too soon to judge but here are my thoughts:

Concerns:

- WR. Dee is the only dependable guy we have. Pope is who he is and Harley is barely serviceable. What else? You'll see a lot of drop backs with King having nobody to throw to b/c our guys can't get open

Pluses:

- Harris/Knighton/Chaney
- King
- Jordan/Mallory are still big pluses

Unsure/too early:

- OL: they looked shaky at times but there weren't a lot of bad beats iirc. Most of the beats came from extra rushers/lack of communication. I didn't watch super closely but that was my perception. I think we are loads better than last year.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Overestimated our o line and depended on the run too much. King isn’t a true passer. He needs to get into the game with short passes, and Lashlee didn’t do that for him until the 3rd quarter.

I expect to watch most of the board complain about 500 yards of offense for the next ten days.

 

[lfoliva9988]

it's the first game people. Give the guys and coaches a LITTLE BIT of time to settle in, have some real time, in game experience, etc.

Ran for 300+ yards
Scored 30+ points
Didnt turn the ball over

those are all huge pluses and it was against a very solid UAB squad that could win their conference.
