Mouton, Smith, Jeter, Chark--involvement

Names we're not used to hearing who became involved in the Tiger offense.

I've mentioned how nice the reads, checkdowns, and dump offs to Guice were, but I have to add hitting Chark on a crossing route--it's exhilarating and infuriating at the same time, since these things are just part and parcel of any decent college offense and taken for granted by fans all over the country. For us, it's like giving a man dying of thirst a glass of water.

Also, the quick fullback pops--Mouton scoring a TD. It's amazing how the threat of a short passing game keeps the defense honest. The few times we tried that play against a stacked box when they knew Harris or Jennings couldn't pass were comical.

We have a ton of playmakers on this team. Spreading the wealth around and hearing names we aren't used to hearing on announcers' lips was refreshing.

Of course, this puts Les and Cam behind the eight ball. We have seen concrete proof that we can have an effective offense. Going back to the same old same old is unacceptable.
