There was an article this morning on changes that need to be made on the offensive side of the ball in the offseason. In the article, it claimed that our play calling and overall predictability had a lot to do with our downfall on that side of the ball. It said that with having as much youth out there, Roper was wanting to keep things as simple as possible for everyone which makes sense. However, because of this they estimated as many as 20 snaps per game, the opposing team especially Clemson knew not only exactly what play we would run but also how we would indicate when to snap the ball.

This is an extremely serious issue. We can get all the talent in the world, if we go up against coordinators like Venables etc who can get an edge like that, we are going to get cornholed.

As OL improves and young players develop the complexity we can use on offense will increase. It's about football IQ and right now our team is a little short on that.

Roper should be able to open up the offense as our young team ages. I think if you see this same playcalling in 2 seasons, then it's time to sound the alarm.

I wonder who passed that info to Tony lol. Not saying it's wrong but it leads me to believe Elliot's trying to put the heat on roper for a while which means the locker room might not be unified
