I must say, he has surpassed my expectations. The playing calling (for me anyway) has been fantastic. The run blocking is phenomenal and mett looks poised and in total control of the offense. He keeps it running steady, makes all his check downs, and is getting better at identifying defensive alignments.
Receivers block very well, run good routes (catch the ball ) and the running backs are outstanding. I know it's only n Texas and Washington, but our offense is a well oiled machine. Few penalties and good decisions.

Stud is not a dud. He is doing an impressive job. Krags too. I think this has the potential to be better then our 07 offense. Jmo. I think it took all of last year and summer/fall to completely gut crowtons offense.

I have to give him an A. I can't fault him on anything at this point.

i'll be honest. for a "pro style" offense, it leaves alot to be desired. no actual NFL screens. no draws. no bootlegs. no waggles. minimal misdirection. its like we refuse to use scheme on offense. plowing forward and busting everyone in the mustache works for 10 wins a year, but when you face someone with equal talent(BAMA!!), you struggle b/c of the simplicity.

Our offense has improved. There will always be things we want to see different. But we are winning. So with that being said.

The adjustments from Week 1 to Week 2 were big IMO.

Less penalties and the OLine looked better pass blocking.

So far in the season it looks like we actually set up plays. In week 1 we ran a lot of the bubble screen. In week 2 Landry runs the bubble screen and Mett fires downfield to Wright.

Wright and Landry have been huge on run blocking.

Landry, Beckham, Boone, and Wright have been awesome in the passing game.

Our stable of Running Backs is 2nd to none in the country. Blue, Hilliard, Ware, and Ford are monsters. And Hill is supposed to be very good.

Mettenberger has looked very good delivering the ball.. Even Rivers looked good on drives against North Texas.

And last but not least.. My personal MVP of the offense so far.. JC Copeland. Paving the way for all these RBs and has been a monster carrying the ball.

Losing Faulk to injury and Washington to academics hurts depth at the OLine though. Never can have too much depth.

Copeland, Landry, and Wright have stepped up pretty big so far.

IMO the loss in the Nat champ goes to the OL, QB and Miles. Run blocking was horrible, Bama game planned for the JJ option, LSU's run game, and the inability our passing game.

If the OL keeps improving and Miles decides to actually let the passing game loose, we win convincingly. The Rbs are stronger and lighter than last year and the QB actually makes reads and throws to his check downs. IMO the speed of Blue and Ford will make a hell of a difference this year especially with Copeland opening huge arse lanes for them.

Dreaux - though I don't completely agree with all of the above, I do agree that Stud isn't a dud (Miles might even hold him back) and the offense has the capability to be better than 07...

"I think this has the potential to be better then our 07 offense"

This offense is nowhere near the 07 offense. Maybe in yardage it ends that way because we are bigger and more physical than everyone else and the SEC is watered down but scheme wise 07 would run circles around this current offense.
