Being Captain Obvious it's pretty clear that we have some issues on offense.

I think with Devito and the recruiting we've done so far that QB and the OL will take steps forward.

The skill positions are looking dicey though. We're going to lose Erv and Ish - that's a ton of production. Between Custis, Butler, Riley, Johnson, etc. we have guys that are getting into games at least, but not really players that are looking like they'll make huge leaps forward. That means we're going to need the redshirts and true freshmen to show something. Hopefully there's something dynamic among that mix of talent. The opportunity is there for a fresh face to shine.

Running back looks like an absolute bust right now. I like Strickland with the ball in his hands after the catch, not so much on the handoff. Same with Neal. I think Neal could actually be really good, he's just playing at the wrong position. Pierre, remains to be seen what we have there. Stritzinger? Who knows. I think all of the incoming freshman RBs/athletes are going to have chances to earn snaps, and even though they're young I think they can make that position a lot stronger pretty quickly.

I hate relying on newcomers to the program, but they represent our best chance to get a lot better in a short amount of time. Thankfully I think this recruiting cycle the staff has done an excellent job of attracting talent that can move the needle.
