C'mon--you can't say two years ago--the Nassib senior year--that we were looking forward to all of the skilled offensive talent waiting behind that group.

I hate the "wait until next year" sentiment--it gets old.  But let's face facts--right now, our starting QB, arguably best WR, our most explosive RB, etc. are all true frosh.  Not even redshirt frosh--true frosh.  There's not only bound to be growing pains, but it is very likely that this group--while struggling at times now--is going to have their learning curves dramatically accelerated as a function of having been thrown to the wolves early on.

Two years from now, Long [as a third year starter] is going to be a stud, throwing to an experienced group of receivers who've "grown up" together.  Pretending that we had the kind of playmaking talent needed to be top 25 last year understates how much the offensive talent needs to be upgraded.

If we're still saying this in two years, please feel free to remind me / call me out.  But I believe this core of offensive skilled frosh are the group that gets us over the hump and to the next level.
