Thanks Telx
I really do have concerns on where the WR room is going and the offense we're going to run. I expected next year to be a little more run heavy with most likely 2 TE sets, but I thought this year would be run heavy with more of a spread offense. We started out that way but Riley's struggles throwing forced the ND staff to go to much heavier packages including Bigger better blocking WRs. It worked vs Purdue. I'm not confident it will work very well on good Defenses. Miami OH does not have a very good run D so I think you'll see a similar game plan to purdue vs Miami. It's louisville that can stop our run game and make us throw. My other concern with the current offense is we aren't building confidence in our passing game that will be needed vs louisville, gtech, usc. We really need to start having some success in the pass game with Riley if he's our QB. He was amazing running the ball vs purdue, but he was bad again, when they were in a ton of man. That's the easiest defense to read, and we won a lot of man coverage routes and he either didn't see them, throw them, or throw them accurately a lot. His best throw of the day was probably his last one that was called back due to holding to end the first half.
Again, I don't think we win a title without really good/elite WR play. I have high hopes for Gilbert and Williams as a tandem, but that's about it that can be elite (beaux as well but we won't have him moving forward). I feel somewhat bad for beaux, a good QB and he probaly has 400 yards and 3 tds through 3 games this year. He's been open a lot downfield.
