Terrelle was a lot worse before November. The biggest improvement was in maturity between plays and outside of games. In games, he became a lot more decisive.
He's a freakish athlete, but he hesitates to run. Last year he would end up taking coverage sacks on 2nd down instead of taking 8 yds on a scramble.
This is what most of the assumptions didn't realize. He has the freakish gifts of Vince young, but he wants to be a complete qb, to a fault at times. That's why he didn't want to go to Oregon or wvu / or their sister campus in Ann arbor. Nothing against those teams and their exciting offenses, but he wanted to learn how to operate out of pro sets as well.
He also didn't trust his reads, sometimes because he missed things. Especially early on, he tended to triple or quadruple clutch them ball before throwing, making the throw late and tipping his hand to the d.
If we play that game now, herrob gets less touches. Saine's injuries had caused two years of tentative running from an already stiff rb. Herron did very nicely in spelling beanie and was mr. Consistent. That was part of the improvement in November, saine became a major force on the ground.
The ol also improved a lot as the season wore on. Against USC, they kept pryor clean while passing but weren't consistent in creating running lanes. The emergence and maturation of shugarts and overall cohesion of the line really played a big role there.

My only knock against Tresselball. When you play elite teams that will likely put up some points, you have to take a shot at a gift like that.
USC just about lost that game early by gambling on 4th down. That was a very questionable TD.
I have a problem with draws on 3rd and long at the 30, or run heavy offenses when the defense isn't staying honest (and the qb isn't carrying out his fakes).
Sneaks on 4th and 1 are much different, and about split on the pros and cons.
