For me it’s 3 simple things :

Getting off to better starts (we notoriously started off games slow under Brian Kelly )

Functioning run game ( the running game was underwhelming every single year under Brian Kelly outside of Jayden Daniels’s Heisman year

Complementary football ( we never had a complete team during BK tenure. Defense was either anemic or the offense was bad. With lane and Weiss operating the offense and Blake baker running the defense hopefully we should have more games where both sides complement each other.

Blocking, Blocking and more blocking.

I expect our OL and TE's to run block and create holes for our RB's.

I expect our WR's to block and turn 1 yard bubble screens into 10 yard bubble screens.

Forgot actually having a ST Coach so we can flip the field punting, kick actual FGs beyond 40yards and Kickoff/punt coverage. Along with a Top 5 Offense and top 10 D and Top 5 ST do that and your in the playoffs!

Not having to use timeouts multiple times each game because we cannot get the offensive play call in on time or screwed up personnel substitutions.

be able to run the ball, not predictably calling time out because we are confused at the line.

Id especially love to see a little fire from the players. Kelly had them going through the motions, there was no passion or fight on the field.

Potentially seeing wide open wholes created in the run game will be a breath of fresh air. The run game failing was one of the most shocking aspects of Brian Kelly . O line and physicality was suppose to be his bread and butter that didn’t translate at all from notre dame

Would be pretty cool to see us get through a first quarter without calling a phantom timeout

Solid OL play and a running game, those 2 things will fix most of the issues with offense, gotta have a running game in SEC to compete/succeed

SEC champ game appearance. If Kelly could do it with the roster he inherited lane should be able to as well.

Being able to run the football.
We have not been able to line up and hand the ball to the RB with much success in 4 straight years under Kelly.
