The talent is there with a very good QB (hopefully) returning. Not to say the offense will be on fire from day one but it should at least look like it has a coherent strategy.

Beaker 2,457 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 We will start out fast this year. I honestly think Gus is evolving and as he lets Chip do his thing, some of the old characteristics will erode into a faint, dusty memory. We are built for 2018, if we can reload on D (after those that leave early for the draft). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit of a sunshine pumper but with the losses on the O-Line I am not sure why so many think we will start fast out of the gate. None of the starters who will be returning started a full season last year, we have some real question marks at Center and at least one and possibly two OT positions. The O doesn't go if the O-Line doesn't do its job. Do we have great potential yes but proven talent and cohesiveness as unit is another thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey buddy - don't confuse me with a whole bunch of facts. You're right, I just get excited. I always kinda think the O Line works out most of it's kinks pretty quick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Washington is that much better than Clemson? They also didn't have Browning. He obviously may still go pro. Either way, I don't think we start slow. We know what we got at QB already, and should know our identity early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not speaking for anyone else, but I think that our offense should look a lot more competent out of the gate than it has since 2014. We have almost all the pieces in place. We need a center to work his way into the system. That's a big deal, but it should be much less of a big deal than the continuous square 1 start for the entire offense that we've dealt with the last 3 seasons. (2016 should've been different, but Gus didn't want Sean to be his QB and so we had to wait for Rhett to take over.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how anyone tries to spin it, a 14-6 score says nobody got the crap kicked out of them. That's as ridiculous as some of the posts here that tried to make our 49-10 beatdown of MSU be a close, "we coulda' lost it" game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost because the offense sucked, Mikey, which was clearly the point of the post you responded to. Quit parading that "14-6 against the #1 team" moral victory like it's an indication that our head coach didn't suck very badly at his job that day. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If USC’s offense literally can’t move down the field because they’re getting their crap pushed in, yes. The scoreboard isn’t always reflective of how the game actually went. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
