Goals for the Season

[Tsakoi]

1: Dylan needs to establish himself as a college QB. Basically live up to a portion of the hype. I'm not saying he has to be a phenom, just establish himself. Anything better is bonus.

2: Gabe Ervin make it to a game in October or even......(gasp)..... November. Dude's season is usually over before conference play begins.

3: Turner Corcoran. Play good or make way for new blood. He's had enough chances I'm assuming this has to be his last.

4: Find a kicker. Any kicker.

5: Find a punter. Any punter.

6: Use Dline quality and depth to take pressure off of secondary. Sacks and TFLs should be a regular occurrence with what we have up front.

7: Bowl game. It's time. This program needs it and the fans deserve it.

Those are all totally achievable. Should be our most successful season in recent years if we do them.

Offense:
Establish the run without resorting to the QB
Protect Dylan
Eliminate the idiotic pre-snap penalties turning it into 1st and 15 or 2nd/3rd and long
Limit the turnovers

Defense:
Create turnovers
Get 3 and outs to create positive field position and kill any offensive momentum
Finally get stops in the 4th or OT with the game on the line

Special Teams:
Competence
Gain, or at least don't lose, field position

[David Webb]

For nearly the first 30 years of my life it was to win a NC. That turned into having a good year and not get blown out in any games. It is now, go to a bowl game.

Priorities for me are Turnover Margin, RZ attempts, and PTs/RZ Att. We averaged 9.7 RZ pts/game last year. It's a huge indicator of success. We need to be averaging 20+ RZ pts/game if we want to sniff 8-9-10 wins. Elite teams are 28pts Rz pts/game. That's why our issue is twofold: it's not only about increasing our production once we're in the redzone, it's about getting in the red zone more often. 2.4 RZ att/game is abysmalllllllllll. Elite teams get there twice as much, and capitalize on those opportunities with touchdowns. That's what we need.
