Our WRs have actually tended to be one of our more underwhelming positions lately. Not saying they're bad or anything, but they can disappear at times. We may as well have just called the wide receivers wide blockers against UF this year, IIRC they caught 2 passes the whole game. That was partially due to our running success, but being one dimensional the whole game with 2 or 3 gadget plays thrown in usually won't cut it against higher level SEC competition. Oddly, our offense did more than enough to win anyway, it was late defensive breakdowns and questionable coaching decisions (inexplicably not going for 2 was for from the only one) that cost us the game. And I like Butch.

On a different note, what does UF want to do with their offense? From what I've seen it looks like Mac wants to run his own variation of the spread, correct me if I'm wrong. I know they've been leaning on the ground game a lot more recently, but I feel like that's likely due to Treon's limitations. (And I know he fricking being us in Knoxville ) Would I be correct in that assessment? UF seems to have found a stud at WR in Callaway. Do they want to establish themselves as a run first team or a pass first team?

Seems like he wants to run a pro style offense with more of a drop back passer. I think he wants to do a little West coast stuff too though because we have a lot of plays where the ball is out quickly....or at least supposed to be. I'm sure he still likes a somewhat mobile QB (doesn't everyone) if for nothing more than avoiding the rush a little to buy time or maybe an occasional bootleg for a change of pace.

I think he would like to be darned near 50/50 run pass.
