Better to forget 2014 -- after Hunt went down, we had obvious talent limitations at QB.  After Foy went down, we were running tryouts at R-OT and the OGs were playing through injuries.   Two of our better WRs (Broyld & Estime) were out.   The offense was a disaster in November.

The question is whether we have talent on offense in 2015, with Hunt back (providing a running threat that was absent after the first 5 games last season). Ishmael having a year under his belt, and Enoicy and Custis starting to emerge.

And it is a mixed bag.  Our RB unit would rank dead last in the ACC -- we have to hope McFarlane emerges.  The OL has plenty of experience, decent size by SU standards, but is small and slow by ACC standards.  Good OLs get push on 3rd and 2 -- do we?  It isn't coaching -- it is strength and physical ability.   Bottom line we have not recruited at RB or OL on a par with our rivals.   Parris has yet to be productive at TE and what do we have behind him?

Where we have some promise is in the collection of Phillips, Ishmael, Custis & Enoicy -- receivers who look like they can develop into weapons.  I would add Avant based on what he did on Saturday.    We have not had this depth in a long time.

Mixed bag.  No easy fix for the OL or the RBs.  A lot depends on Hunt's ability to add that running dimension and improve his accuracy.
