re: How Close Is the Offense to Being Really Good?

Put it this way. If Mett didn't overthrow those deep ball opportunities we'd have blown out SC and we wouldn't be an underdog or at least not by much. This offense is ready to take the next step.

I just don't see us having the sceam to be a really good offense. I mean we could be a consitant offense at best. No turnovers 150-200yds rushing, 150-200 passing is as good as this offense will ever be. It doesnt' have the plays or the deep thret. We may bust a long run but more than likely it will be in the 4th quartere after wearing a team down. I am not sure Bama will wear down. I do think we are the ONLY team that can beat Bama this year.

Not sure if you were agreeing or not with my assessment based on what you wrote above. I would use your example to precisely prove the point I was trying to make. We attempted some deep balls that were unsuccessful but it allowed us to rush for 258 yards at a 4.9 ypc clip against a stout defense. Had Mett not thrown that INT (on a short route) then the game would not have been that close even without the long completions. Complete some of those long ones and it is a huge blowout, as you said.
I guess my point is that we don't necessarily have to complete the long ones to improve our offense. Of course it would be great if we did but there are benefits that come from simply stretching the field vertically on a somewhat consistent basis.
