Gus needs to get super focused on recruiting quarterbacks who can run his system. it doesnt work without a running quarterback and a good offensive line. We took a lot of injuries on the OL this year.

Muschamp will get the defense back where it needs to be. Theres been improvement this year, but with no real QB with any confidnece, the offense has been ridiculous.

That was my point all offseason about this team, and that was assuming Johnson would be a good thrower. The counterpoint was always "well what about Tulsa and Chris Todd", which was always strange because Tulsa was in CUSA and Chris Todd really wasn't anything more than pedestrian against better defenses.

Gus needs a really good O-line to make his power play an automatic 3 yards. If he has that and a scary running QB with a huge arm then the defense has to pick between 3 options on each play (a) 3-5 yard dive (b) QB keep run and (c) deep throw to 1-on-1 coverage. It is almost impossible to defend all 3 of those options. 2010 and 2013 were basically the most perfect personnel mash ups Gus could have had.

Is Gus not capable of creating an offense that fits the QB's he has recruited thusfar?

This is not consistent with his offenses historically. He needs an accurate QB. If that QB can run, then that's icing on the cake.

Bad QB play and horrible play calling is the issue this year, not due to a QB running a zone read or not.
