re: Reasons for Optimism in 2015 (Not for the Faint of Heart)

I gave you an up vote mostly due to the hard work you put into this thread, and for some optimism.

However, the number one reason for optimism is the return of the O linemen in combination with Fournette. LF finally showed the flashes of his potential in the last two games proving he could be a J Hill dominating style rb for us.

I did enjoy seeing how much better our talent grades out to the talent Clemson had, but we also play more teams with higher overall talent than Clemson did. The Jury is definitely still out on Steele.

We hope to be improved on D line, but we haven't had a dominant D line in a few years. O should help, but perhaps the talent we have was over valued during recruiting by the prior coaches. I remain cautiously optimistic there.

To make a run we need to not only have QB improvement, but dramatic QB improvement. We are a long way from being an undefeated or one loss team-which is what it takes to win the west.

We better hope that Miles and company come out of the gate with the right players playing the right scheme. Too many times I've watched him wait until we lose games, or even worse until the season is over to make wholesale adjustments.

Although we have great talent on the roster, recent trends have shown the program going down rather than maintaining or going up. I am hopeful that we can have a great few years, but I am no longer buying into the hope until I see it on the field.

I am placing my faith in Cam and Harris. I think they can do it. If they can then everything else will fall into place.
