Screen plays and generally any dump offs or passes over the middle are our biggest weakness. Our DEs don't read screens too well, and so they aren't usually there to clean up a screen when the receiver gets turned back towards the middle of the field.

Our middle LB Andrew Wilson is fundamentally sound and hits like a truck, but he isn't all that athletic. Our OLBs are more athletic, but not real sound fundamentally. They'll overrun plays and get themselves our of position.

The secondary was supposed to be our biggest weakness this year, but they are pretty solid with Gaines back. FS Matt White was horrible his first season, bad his second year, but he is playing pretty well now. He won't make any bone-smashing hits, but he does a great job cleaning up plays. Gaines is excellent at CB, Ponder is a decent #2, and true freshman CB Aarion Penton has really come on. He started while Gaines was hurt, and he was great.

The smartest thing to do is probably not to run it too much, but to use screens and dump offs as a substitute for a run game. The problem you'll face there is getting your QB hit a lot and possibly turnovers, but you'll move the ball more consistently that way.

Our kicker has also been inconsistent. Everybody knows he shanked that FG in double OT against USC, but he's also missed another couple short FGs and a few extra points. He does have a good leg on kick offs. Our returner Marcus Murphy had trouble holding onto the ball against Kentucky, but he was replaced in the second half. I don't know if he'll be back returning kicks/punts against Ole Miss.

Our offense doesn't really have any holes. We've got two capable QBs. Franklin has 17 TDs to 3 INTs while Mauk has 11 INTs to 2 INTs. Franklin has a much higher completion percentage. Mauk probably has below average accuracy on the short throws right now, but he throws a great deep ball. Both can run.

We've got three RBs getting lots of carries, and all average over 6 yards a carry. So far in conference play Josey has been the guy, but in the second half of games our coaches are willing to go with the hot hand.

Similar story at WR. We've got three big, athletic starting WRs, and all three have over 500 yards receiving. We've got some capable guys behind them too.
