I think our biggest issues last year were addressed.
1. Playcalling - Spav is still here, but he is a year more experienced and can rely on his OL/RB & QB more (see below)
2. OL coaching. We were and still have loads of talent. Dave should have our guys ready to kick arse and stop wasting our talent.
3. QB play. While Trill has his moments he clearly was not the right guy and could now complete a deep ball to save his life. Kyle did about as well as you'd expect a true fish to do. I have sky high expectations for him.
4. Drops. Our WR probably lead the NCAA in drops. I'm not sure what is being done to improve it. New coaching may help, but Beaty was a good coach. Better ball placement from the QB too (see no more Trill).

We can bitch about our O last year til the cows come home , but we finished 36th on Scoring O (32.1 ppg) and 33rd on Total O (440+) vs a very tough schedule. That should be good enough to win a lot of games with a half way decent D.

In my mind, the biggest improvement on the offensive side of the ball is going to come from the Dave Christensen hire. Not Kyle having another year in the system, not any new player, not something from Spav.

#1, he's going to have our talented OL actually performing like it, instead of looking like unmotivated, discombobulated sacks of flesh as they did last year.
#2, you better believe he has a lot of input on play design and scheme. We'll have a much more well-constructed running game and make use of tight ends. When he was at Mizzou they had an offense that I lusted after: spread, but with teeth.
