Agree with all this. When I start getting concerned about a rookie OC, I'm reminded that the flip side is at least he will make adjustments (unlike Rope a dope) and not be so predictable (Roper, again). I'll forgive mistakes and bad playcalls as long as the offense doesn't become so predictable and unwilling to try something or refusing to stick with what's working (running game vs Clemson last year!).
I think, especially initially, there will be quite a bit of involvement from Werner....from game planning to play calling. He has a very experienced and successful resume. McClendon would be a fool not to rely on him and McClendon doesn't strike me as a fool.
Possibly so, but Frost leaving also proves the difference between apples and oranges.
I think that's been proven over and over - especially in the preseason.
It could happen of course, but this team definitely has more talent than the last 2 years.
I agree, King. But when we talk about a "thing" and whether it comes easy or not, what, exactly, is the "thing" that is a preseason ranking? They are pretty much meaningless. If we were preseason #23 and win our first two games, we'll almost certainly jump into the top 15. If we are unranked and win our first two games, we'll almost certainly jump into the top 15. Preseason rankings don't come with a trophy. Otherwise, we'd have one from our #4 ranking in 2014.
You are correct. This amounts to nothing other than a little recognition that might or might not be validated.
Beat UGA and you are in the drivers seat for the East. You have more talent than Mizzu and KY, Tenn is a dumpster fire and Fla is a year away.
It will always be the big question for Muschamp teams... until he proves otherwise.
After we beat coastal, we arrive in top 25. We’ll find out if we deserve to be there the next week. I personally think we lose to ugay in the 4th Q, but by less than a TD. We stay in Top 25 for rest of year. 9-3 atvyear end.
