This is going to come out not the way I intended [and no disrespect meant toward you, Jeremy], but--well, duh.

Of course we need the offense to play well and have a chance to win.  And of course they need to do better than they did the final three quarters against USF.  But there's a big difference between Louisville's / USF's personnel on the defensive side of the ball and UConn's.  Which means we shouldn't struggle to move the ball as much, they shouldn't be able to get upfield and make plays in our backfield that throw off our passing timing as much, and they won't be able to cover the edges as easily.  All of which should make it easier to march up and down the field.

Mind you, I'm not predicting that we romp.  Just that our offense is going to look a lot different against teams like UConn and Wake than it did against Louisville and USF.  And for that matter, the defense will, as well, given the limitations of those teams compared to a team with a legit Heisman contender quarterbacking.

We might not shut anybody out all year, but hopefully we can do enough against the uconns, wakes, and bc's on the schedule to keep them in check, while moving the ball / scoring much easier than they are able to.

That's what I expect Saturday.
