terrible field position (kickoffs and kick returns) and terrible at finishing drives. what will this offense do when those regress to the mean?

we're having a lot of goofy kicking stuff this year holding down points. that should improve without even trying, almost has to

 

[GoSU96]

A lot of head room just this year. Put estime in on all returns. Give riley his snaps or strick those extra yards will make a huge difference

Is Pitts. pass defense really ranked 122 in D-1 this year? If so...

I think Bris took the last kick off, I'm hoping that ends the Riley experiment

one thing that might pop up with babers is that being so right about the design of the offense might lead to some overconfidence about other choices that aren't so great. it always seems like coaches with the best offenses make big mistakes elsewhere. I think babers is old enough and had enough experience prior to the briles epiphany that he'll be pretty good. But I do have to wonder why he's putting the ball in the hands of guys who are *so tiny*. those guys could use a year of eating and lifting.

Overconfidence in special teams, perhaps?

Maybe "his guy" syndrome, or saving Bris from injury risk in his view?

Bottom P5 schools in pass D vs P5 opponents:

Last Arizona State
Oklahoma
NC State
Pitt

So our two most winnable games happen to be against two teams who are in the bottom 4 in pass D.
