I love to lay out clearly defined progress and not get caught up in how something looks or what it seems like is happening. I like seeing numbers on paper and seeing if the numbers say it got better or worse.
The team had clear lines of progress this year.
-one more win
-a bowl appearance
-1 more SEC win
-2 Road SEC wins
Ect.
But many on here talk about how bad the offense was. How poor the OC is and that this side of the staff should be "in trouble".
Well the facts lay out in a very different way. We accomplished better numbers this year having to face the following adversities.
-Started 7 different Freshman
-44 total freshman starts JUST on O
-Replacing all 5 OL
-Many significant injuries to the WR unit
-Losing our starting QB and having to play with our 3rd string QB the last third of the season.
2014 Offensive Improvement Numbers**
-66 More Points in 2014
-100 More Plays
-76 More First Downs
-9 More Passing TD's
-4 Less INT's
-Redzone Efficiency up 15%
**These numbers from CMB press conference today**
Think about how much those numbers are going to go up next year with the following notes about what is coming back for this offense.
-Return our entire WR core
-Return our starting QB for the first time in years
-Return our entire OL 3 deep but 1 walk on with one ACL (Thank you Jacob Gilliam)
-Return one of the top freshman RB's in the country
-Another year to develop the OL after they've had a year of playing together adding talented freshman and getting Blair ready
-Add uber talented JUCO Kamara at RB and Williams at WR
I think a lot of people are down on the O for no reason, when you look at the circumstances and the results I think the offensive staff did a HELL of a coaching job in 2014.
Go Vols!
