We did make progress this season. Banks is a big reason for that. The QB position as we all know is uber important and he was clearly an upgrade there. The O-line is still bad and we can only hope for more transfers. The TE's are capable and it would be nice to use them more. The WR's looked better as they got more chances once we started throwing the ball on a regular basis. The RB's were good. Losing Hilliard will hurt. Bradwell looked good running but when asked about him Fritz always said he needs to learn everything about the position. He clearly means he needs to learn how to block on passing plays so that he can stay on the field.
The D regressed this year. I was never sold on them being as good as some wanted to say they were the past few seasons but I thought they were decent. The change in scheme didn't work. What was worse was the move of Aruna inside. He hadn't played much before he got here but got better every year. The position switch was a detriment to him and the team. We lose a lot on this side of the ball. We need some JUCO and grad transfers here to help us out for next year especially on the D-line.
The ST's are still a complete mess.
So we made some progress which was bolstered by the Houston win. That's making us all feel better about things. We needed to make significant progress and we didn't. In year two of the system you should see a noticeable and consistent jump. That didn't happen. Maybe with Banks in his second year we'll see that on the offensive side of the ball. Not sure we'll see that in the other two phases of the game. Hopefully we get good transfers in that speed things up for us. God knows we all deserve it.
