Stoops says offense is 'better' than last year

[Jaxcat]

According to an article I read on another site. Of course, the author cites how this year's offense is actually WORSE than last year's in many statistical measurements. I mean last game was a pretty good indicator: 7 points and 170 total yards by the end of the 3rd quarter when the game was far, far out of reach at 35-7. Accumulating 100+ yards and 7 points against Georgia's 2nd and 3rd team defense is not something to point at and think, 'progress'. A drive lasting more than 8 minutes and 20 plays that resulted in ZERO points is not 'progress' or 'better'. Sure, the HC can say that but either he's just spewing 'coachspeak' or he's certifiably insane.

OL - better but only slightly, imo
RB - better
WR - much, much worse
TE - better but maybe only because we have to throw to them because the WR corps is so awful; it's not like we have two TEs going to the NFL like Iowa and Penn State and Georgia have had a few years; they're serviceable but not really mismatches or game-breakers, imo
QB - Calzada worse, Boley slightly better but, maybe, he can continue to improve as the coaches seem to remain very high on him (as a reminder: these are the same coaches that brought in Calzada and have said this year's offense is better)
OC - if possible, even worse this year than last; with a miserably bad OL last year, there wasn't much that was ever going to work although it didn't appear Hamdan had any clue what to do even then; with a potentially better QB and somewhat better OL play, we still are awful on offense; very little creativity, very few mid-game adjustments, still the inexplicable play called here and there that seems to be random at best and consciously trying to sabotage the team at worst

Time to pull the ripcord on this HC and staff and let the chips fall where they may. It's not going to improve with these coaches anytime soon.

I think the O line is substantially better at run blocking, and we upgraded at running back. But as you said WR is horrifically bad. I'd put QBs even with last year, not good. A better run blocking line and good running backs can't perform because defenses don't have to respect our passing game even a little. Overall, NOT a better offense. Upgraded one are, regressed in a huge way in another. As you said, OC is terrible.

Doesn't matter. It all relative. Better doesn't necessarily equate to "good enough", nor justify the paycheck.

Not to be nasty or ugly but being better than last year is a pretty low bar.

Isn't that the truth.
