Our WR corps has a lot prove but I believe that Preston Williams is the guy who brings us the Hunter/Da'Rick type WR that we haven't had since he left. If Josh Malone ever gets serious he will too but Malone has so far been an up and down player. JUCO transfer Jeff George is skinny as hell but looked good in the spring.

Also, our OL has to show it can consistently pass block (the improvement last year was great all around and in run blocking but they still need to learn to pass block).

Brandon Harris last year had a higher passer efficiency rating than Trevor Knight has for his whole career at Oklahoma (or any single year at Oklahoma).


Brandon Harris was throwing to "elite" talent like Malchi Dupre, Travon Dural, and Tyron Johnson. His 3rd best receiver was Leonard Fournette. Throwing short passes to a running back is a great way to boost your stats. He was also working against teams that often had 8 or 9 defenders in the box.

Trevor Knight had one receiver in Sterling Sharpe. He also worked in 2 different offenses with different coordinators in a conference where almost every team lines up in the nickel and dime (harder to pass against).

It was 14 and Dooley did that his entire time though the number varied from game to game.

I understand what you are saying, but Tebow, Cam, Bo and Herschel were also thought of as "Once in a lifetime" players. While they are still thought of as top of the line, there have been players that have come close to their productions. There is ALWAYS a new "Once in a lifetime" player.

We're fine at receiver and running back, and hell Trevor Knight looked way better than most expected in the Spring.

Our issue offensively will be the OL, both due to a lack of experience/depth and poor technique instilled by two consecutive terrible OL coaches. Unless Jim Turber can turn a miracle there this year I expect lots of problems.

All those guys were once in a lifetime guys for their schools. Has UGA had another RB as good as Herschel? Has anyone as good as Cam played QB at Auburn in our lives or are they likely to in the future 30 years? The point he was making is that A&M isn't getting another Johnny. Not that no one else will have a QB that talented again, they definitely will, somewhere else.

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin.....

You discredit Harris because he went against "8 or 9 in defenders in the box", while simultaneously ignoring the fact that Knight had a 1700+ yard rusher in his only season as a starter.

You then use the nickle and dime excuse, while, again, ignoring the 1700+ yard rusher that Knight had. I hate to break it to you, but no one was lining up in dime on 1st or 2nd down when Samaje Perine was on the field in 2014.

Spav was just too inexperienced to know how to coach around weaknesses

Mazzone will hopefully be much better at calling plays that don't expose our Achilles
