Too many penalties. Averaging 8 flags per game.

Offensive line play. It was supposed to the strength of the team and with injuries mounting it is starting to look like a weakness.

Secondary
Pass protection
Recievers catching.

Or

O-line
Secondary
Recievers.

That's alot to be worried about. But I really don't care, it will still be at least a 10 win season

Secondary makes bad reads, out of position. Will probably continue to improve with more experience.

The loss of tm7 has taken a lo of the big play ability from our defense. I'm not saying we don't have the ability or haven't made big plays, I am saying that we don't have the same big play potential as we once had.
Also, while we are very talented, we have a drastic loss of experience in the defensive backfield. We miss assignments way too often because of our backs being confused by offensive looks that they don't have the experience to recognize. This is where we also miss the badger and his experience in identifying what the offense is trying to do.

It will have to imorove in the S.E.C.. Can get away with it against that joke of an OOC lineup, but so far it appears the secondary misses the coaching of Ron Cooper. Every S.E.C. OC will watch film of that drive that the Potatoes moved the length of the field with mostly short passes and will do the same thing until LSU stops it.

Also worried about OL depth. Not that confident that some of the reserve OL's (Especially at Center) could step in if needed and hold up against S.E.C. DL's/LB's.

I am really only concerned with dropped passes.

I think we will be fine and are definitely better than last season.

Offense

WR's ability to catch and get separation.
Pass blocking
Mett's decision making
TE's - Do we have any?
OL - Can we get 3 yards when we need it

Defense

Montgomery - What happened to him?
LB's - Do we have any?
Reed - What happened to him?
Have we hit anyone hard this year?
Can we force a fumble someday?

Other than that we are fine.
We look more and more like a 10-2 team

Very hard to tell because we haven't really been pushed. If I had to pinpoint anything I would say our Pass Protection could still get better, and I do think we might be in trouble against a really good dink and dunk offense. Oregon or WVU this year might have been a lot to ask IMO. This is probably our best offense EVER though. Teams stacking the box will pay, so I do think overall we could be a little better then last year ...... we just aren't there yet.

Big Play potential on offence (against real competition).
