What clicked in the last game that didn't in the first two?

Honestly, it came down to play calling, really. We moved our play makers around a lot and used them to exploit mismatches. If you compare the first two games to the USC game, it's pretty easy to see that the coaching staff didn't want to tip their hand too much in regards to what packages we would be running.

A lot of it had to with the fact that USC was giving our WR's big cushions and we killed them in the intermediate passing game, too.

He was getting bashed pretty hard for his 0-7 start against Vandy (perhaps it was deserved), but he's really only played poorly for 1 half of football so far. He's not a Matt Stafford type, but I think he'll be capable of beating teams if they sell out to stop the run. He'll never have a stat line like he had on Saturday ever again, but I think he showed that if the coaches give him the plays to work with, then he can execute well.
