Thank you for the info jwinslow.
Last year was Jacory's first year in a new offense within his first year as a full time starter. He had significant playing time the previous year, and lead us to two come from behind wins. I am sad to say that those two victories came against powerhouses Duke, which I attended, and Virginia. In the Virgina game he orchestrated a roughly five minute, 80 yard game tying drive where he was forced to complete fourth down conversions. In overtime he threw the game winning score. The problem was that he had to share snaps with Marve, which stunted his growth as a quarterback I believe.
Then the very next spring he was thrown into a new system. In his freshman year, our offense rarely completed passes beyond 15 yards. I think we had four receivers who averaged at least 15 yards per reception. Last year the down field pasing game was a huge focus, which with his youth and dare I say hand injury, accounted for a huge increase in interceptions. Now a year older, with hopefully a healed hand, he will progress in the system and cut down on his mistakes. I hope he has learned to take what the defense gives him. Watch out if he has learned.
I haven't watched a ton of tOSU games but here is what I see on our end.
QB - as long as Jacory stays healthy(behind him is nothing but inexperienced youth)
RB - we are extremely deep. Having FB Pat Hill return from injury is a major lift to our offense. Hill was instrumental in keeping Jacory's backside clean during the first three games of last season. Jacory found himself getting hit more and more after Hill went down. The combination of Damien Berry, Mike James, and Lamar Miller will more than make up for the loss of Cooper if he can't go. Berry runs extremely hard and if Miller gets past the first line of defense good luck catching him. Many thought Berry should have started the second half of the season. The key for Berry is whether or not he has learned his blocking assignments. James filled in at FB last year as a freshman and performed extremely well. James will get more carries at TB with Hill coming back. There is also true freshman Storm Johnson who made a splash during the spring(but we all know what that counts for).
WR - I think we have the deepest and best group in the nation. I will take Hankerson, Byrd, Johnson, and Benjamin over any other. With this group we have the ability to stretch the field and to complete the intermediate passes that keep drives going. This group will be a nightmare for your secondary, IF Jacory is given time.
TE - Here we have Gordon, a senior, who hasn't done anything and Billy Sanders a red shirt freshman. The key will be whether or not Chase Ford, a juco kid, arriving this fall will be able to jump in and contribute.
OL - ???? I am having blind faith here. There are a lot of unknowns.
Offense vs tOSU defense - If our offensive line holds up under the pressure, we will be successful. If not, it will be a very long afternoon. I know we have the weapons to score 30 plus points, but will the line allow them to. I think we hold our own. I see us stretching the field a few times with our speed on the outside because of having success on the ground. I think Whipple will make a commitment to the ground game this year. Giving us more balance. Which will help cut down on Jacory's mistakes.
DE - We are loaded at end. Allen Bailey, Adewale Ojomo(who missed last season because of injury), Marcus Robinson, and Oliver Vernon who had a strong freshman campaign. We will have Gavin Harden coming back from injury as well. Dyron Dye also did positives as a freshman.
DT - We have Marcus Forston coming back from injury(he had a strong freshman year two years ago), Chris Porter, Micanor Regis, and Joe Joseph. I see Forston, Porter, and Regis having huge years.
LB - I see McCarthey moving to the middle this fall, which will leave Sean Spence, Jordan Futch, and Ramon Buchanon manning the outside. Spence, Futch, and Buchanon battled injuries last year with Futch & Buchanon missing significant time. I think this group will have a break out year.
DB - The starting group should be solid but questions linger after that. Starters - Brandon Harris(who had a huge year last year), DeMarcus Van Dyke, Vaughn Telemaque, and Ray Ray Armstrong will all be solid.
Deffense vs tOSU offense- I see our front four containing the tOSU ground game and pressuring Pryor all afternoon long. Our biggest addition this off season was bringing in Rick Petri as the defensive line coach from Kentucky. In the late 90's Petri developed a ton of talent on the defensive line at Miami, and I see the group that we have in place flourishing under him. I think we will force Pryor into a making mistakes with us coming away with turnover or two. We were solid against the run last year so I see no reason for that to change.
Wisconsin caught us at the end of the year when we were beat up and depleted on defense and Jacory was dealing with his hand injury. tOSU will not have that luxury.
