Where can this team improve?

I think it's easy to say that this team needs to be better on defense, but just being realistic, this is not going to be a great defensive team. There seems to be too much youth. Maybe, though, there are areas where improvement is attainable with this group. What do you think? Here are some of mine:

1) Penalties - This is one area, especially on defense, where improvement is very attainable. Getting silly offsides penalties has already helped opponents sustain drives and ultimately come away with points on a couple of possessions this year. These penalties have also caused potential 3rd and long downs to turn into 3rd and short or manageable. This is one area where improvement should be easy to come by.

2) Punting - This is as simple as giving another guy a chance in my opinion. Either Reichard comes back healthy or you go to the next guy on the depth chart. 33 yards per punt with a shank on every third punt is just not good enough for a D1 scholarship punter.

3) Run game / ball control - I think the unit that started at A&M is our best unit. I think they will continue to gel and this is going to become a strength. Also, consider this: Neal has played 6 games in college and is adjusting to playing LG; Dickerson had never played center at all until this year and has started 2 games there. Brown is 2 games back from a long absence. I think our tackles had already done a pretty good job, and now the middle is starting to come together.

4) Tua on deeper throws - I think despite all the amazing stats this has been one area where Tua has struggled this year. He's not been great at hitting receivers further than 10 yards down field. On one hand I like that he's not taking as many chances when there's no need, but I also realize that when we are trying it, we aren't hitting at a great clip. I know he's capable, so I think there's a good chance this gets better. I also know that Sark's West Coast influence is probably a factor here.
