I thought Blaine's maturing into an excellent QB was amazing. His touch on long passes and improvement from gunning each pass to more touch/accuracy was just fun to see. Can't wait to see him with a more experienced and stronger line next year. Fun year knowing that we had a shot in each game due to ability to score at any time.
I love Blaine to death and I had been waiting for this guy to get his chance and he did very well cause he has a strong arm and makes plays with his feet. But I will say this, our WR's bailed out Blaine many many times with some great catches this season. It seemed every jump ball thrown out there our WR's won!
The O line played well but could use some room for improvement. Our running game didn't really do much outside of the Middle Tennessee game and while our running backs are young, some of the blame has to go to the O-line. As for pass blocking, they did a good job but I get the feeling that some of their mistakes were masked by Blaine's ability to move around in the pocket and scramble. There were some games where Blaine got BEAT UP (Arkansas state game comes to mind). The protection has to get better if we want to have Blaine play a full season next year. The pass protection will also get better with an improved running game. Now with that said, our offense was great last year. They exceeded all our expectations. Remember how after the Kent State game everyone was MUCH more concerned with our offense than with our Defense? They will only get better too. Yes they lose Green but Thompson, and Pettis will be solid and our WR corps will be STACKED. O-line play and running game has no where to go but up as well. The offense should be big for us next year.
Again---the position Coach of the year goes to the University of Louisiana's Jorge Munoz!!!!! They blocked, they didn't hold, they caught everything that they should have, and they made spectacular catches!!!! And do you guys remember last year and the number of crucial drops????? As a former Cajun receiver coach---I say he is the best we have ever had here!!!!
