  Whitt’s answer to this question was the progress made by our Secondary given how young they are. What is your answer?

  How much fans hate the offense even though Taylor is doing a good job.

    19, 23, 20, 20, 10, 20, and 25 – Those are the offensive point totals in 7 of our 10 games this year.
    
    That is NOT “doing a good job.”

      Passing numbers are up slightly though……and rushing is down.
      
      Remove the s**tty teams and Taylor has done a terrible job.

        I don’t know how we can yet judge the effectiveness of Taylor’s system until we have a functional O line. No play, good or bad, has time to develop if there is zero time.

        Isn’t that part of being an effective OC, making the OL functional?

        That’s the promoted OCs job(demoted if you ask some people around here to fit their narrative).

    Very interesting indeed. But the problem I have with this take is that, unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t really take into account game flow/momentum/down and distance situations. It sounds frankly absurd to hear Utah shouldn’t run the ball more even with improved O line play.

  Negative: The lack of pressure on opposing QB’s. Positive: Huntley (when he’s healthy)

    I agree with this negative. RIP sack Lake City. Positive would be Huntley earlier on, but the shine has worn off a bit lately for me. Maybe our Gay guy.

  Matt Gay. I thought we were going to have a horrible kicking game this year but he has been awesome.

  Negatives: Defensive Line play and rushing defense.
  
  Positives: How quickly the young secondary has picked it up. Huntley: I was one of those people who was in the Williams camp in preseason, and I was highly skeptical when Huntley was named the starter. I was wrong. Huntley is the man for the job, and I look forward to seeing how he runs the offense next year. (True freshman Tuttle will not start).

  Biggest surprise – that we cant seem to get all the various units on this team to play well at same time.
  
  Bigger surprise – that many expect next year to be better. Our best season was arguably the first season in the Pac 12. Looked so promising.
