The offense, lack of penalties and lack of turnovers have been better than I could have expected and drastically improved. The defense and FG kicking has been worse.
I expect that both will normalize. Our defense will improve, but so will opposing defenses. Some of the stuff that has worked on offense (e.g. The Wildcat) isn’t going to work against good defenses. At the same time, outside of FSU, Louisville and UNC, I expect the other offenses to really be no better than what we have faced. Yes those were lower tier teams, but they were both lower tier teams that were really good at what they did.
I think there is enough in the tank to get to 6-6 or 7-5 with the schedule. We were a competent QB away from that last year.
Of course, the D (and DL play) may not improve. If so, my defense of Hux and his defenses may look questionable.
