I wonder about much of that.  As starters, we have the same playmakers on offense as we had last season (Nassib, Lemon) or the year before (Sales) or guys who look fairly equal to what we lost (more of Stevens and Smith in place of Provo and Bailey).  We hope some of the new playmakers "can execute", but we are talking about Broyld & Kobena and some true frosh who may or may not contribute, but not likely in September.   I am not expecting a lot of changes -- we will depend on Nassib and the veterans (Sales, Lemon, Stevens & Smith) to be our leaders and maybe we get a boost from a couple of youngsters.  
 
"improve over the season"  --  hasn't happened.   It might be a depth issue or recruiting, as we haven't had  or RS- emerge as big contributors when starters slow down.   November (rivalry month) hasn't been the best month for this coaching staff but maybe this is the year for that to change.  
 
It is wishful to believe that closed Spring practices will fool DCs (no BE games until our 5th game).   Our secrets (Broyld will move around) usually find the light of day before the first games.   And, here is a clue: Marrone is a meat & potatoes guy (run first, possession passes).
