We can hate how our offense looked as far as communication, the QB, slow as molasses no-huddle but if you watched the Clemson/Georgia game you saw the play calling was pretty close to the type of plays we ran. Lots of shotgun runs up the middle, bubble screens, swing passes sprinkled in with some deep throws. Difference between us and Penn States offense was Allen Robinson. Clemson has Boyd and Watkins.

I don't mind the plays we run but throwing on first down once in a while is a start. You have to think communication and rhythm will get better because honestly I don't see how it could be any worse than that train wreck we witnessed yesterday.

This leads to playmakers. I think or WRs will be ok once the offense gets some semblance of an idea but as far as playmakers go the only ones I see are Jerome Smith, George Morris and Ashton Broyld. Beckett Wales is a nice TE who can make some plays once our offense realizes you are allowed to throw to the middle of the field. IMO, PTG is a third down back.

Bottom line is our offense isn't much different from those being run around the country. Some have QBs that can make all the throws, some have mobile QBs to mask throwing inefficiency. The defense is legit. If our offense gets it together, this could be a fun year. It starts with feeding our playmakers the ball.
