I believe the biggest question mark on this team is Allar. If he doesn’t make major strides (slight pun intended, as he too rarely steps into his throws) this year, I just don’t expect him to be a big time player in big time games — and his stats so far in such games sadly support that theory. Yes, the WR talent has been underwhelming but he has had GREAT tight ends and GREAT running backs. Plus, I’ve always thought great QBs elevate the play of their WRs. If he plays like last year, no NC. If he plays like a guy who DESERVES to be a first round pick (and not just a guy with the size and arm strength), then yes. Strong possibility.

The only thing missing from your post was clamoring for Allar to be benched and replaced with one of the backups.

The coaching staff needs to develop pass patterns that free WRs up and then Drew has to target them. If he remains fixated on only one receiving target he is helping the defense. He has to spread the ball around. That is not too much to ask of a QB who will be a three year starter.

I think we will see some fine tuning of the offense and the routes the WR's run.

Every Summer I am overly optomistic about the season to come. Half way through, Ohio State and someone else dash my hopes and dreams. This year it's just the opposite. I am overly pessimistic. Everyone says this is the year. It's now or never. That word NEVER jumps out to me in that sentence. Can we win it all? It's not going to be easy. Are we our own worst enemy? Can we get over the hump? Can James get over the hump? He hasn't shown so far that he can. Our AD has pushed all the chips in to keep an experienced team on the field. Perhaps at the expense of future teams. Can we go 12-0? Probably not. Most likely not. No we can't. We have to go through our nemesis Ohio State. At Ohio State. Yes, they lost nearly 2 million players to the draft...and both coordinators. But they have the advantage. They know they can beat us. We don't know if we can beat them. Don't forget Oregon in the WhiteOut. Then there is Iowa away. They are always a hard out for us. Then there is Indiana, the surprise team last year. And that upstart team Nebraska. We don't play them ( until the conference title game) but don't sleep on Illinois. They will be the surprise team this year. Including returning starters and portal starters, they return 19 first teamers. Let's get this season going. Atleast keep my hopes up into October with a WhiteOut win. Or just put me out of my misery.
