re: Overall just very disappointed with the lack of creativity on offense

Yes, we didn't lose to Alabama because we didn't have a creative enough offense. And we wouldn't have beat Florida by being more creative. Early in the season we couldn't do the basic things, like protect the QB, catch the ball, make the right reads, catch the ball, etc...
There isn't some magical creative offense that would have eliminated those mistakes. We were a pretty young and inexperienced team at key positions this year, when our offense clicked it was very very good.
We only put up 17 points on Bama. People talk about this game like it was an offensive masterpiece, but despite all of the yardage we didn't put up many points because the offense stalled a few times after putting together good drives.
You can blame the defense, but they only gave up 21 points which isn't too bad against the #1 team in the country.
If you're counting on your defense to hold every team to 14 points you're bound to be disappointed eventually, and your offense better be able to pick up the slack when disappointment happens.

Against possibly the best defense this year, they did an incredible job. Of course everyone wishes thet would have scored more points.

They gave up 6 of those in 90 seconds, gave up more than 6 yards a carry. Our defense played worse than our offense in the second half of the season.

Shouldn't the reverse be true as well. Make no mistake, our offense bailed us out of a couple games this year.
