Does UT have the WRs (or TEs or receiving RBs) to make that effective? I recall UT trying some of that last year -- little flair outs along the line of scrimmage. But the SEC defenses seemed to gobble it up.
yes. the one thing that i came away from the OW game was that it was finally nice to see our guys, FB, TE, WR, RB, all go and get the ball. we still dont' have the great speed necessarily, but they were all making grabs, and several broken tackles later, picked up some good yardage. and with a couple of the freshmen coming in we might find a few small doses of speed we can utilize. but size wise, Warren and Hancock both are big targets, and should prove to be good WR's. TE isn't a huge concern, we got two good ones, two good FB's and rb, well, i think at RB is the only position on the team, save maybe DB, that i'd say we're "loaded".
now, the defenses weren't allowed to do much at all, but just from an execution stand point on offense, that was one thing i think that does look to be better.
really fast defenses like Florida's will be difficult to go outside on with some of those plays, but again, i still expect us to really emphasize the run. if we have any kind of running game, we could be pretty good offensively.
the o line in pass protection is still a concern, so the rolling pocket or the qb misdirection are probalby all there to give him just a bit more time. the screens, if they work at all, might help ease some of the pressure.
I'll put it this way....i don't expect to see our QB, regardless of who it is, taking a lot of 7 step drops and surveying the feild, unless we get a lot better at tackle over the summer. I'm sure there's a goal of how fast they want the ball out of his hands.
i guess the good news for us is they only used about 20% of the playbook Saturday, we still have new guys to break in when they get here for fall camp, so they still have plenty of stuff to work on.
