Hopefully most people have calmed down by now. We got the W. We are not being selected into the CFB Playoff, so for us, a win is a win. There were many positives that came from last night as well. But in moving forward to next Saturday, what do you think will be different? Not 'I want Towles benched' or 'our LBs can't keep up', etc.
What do you think will be different from week 1 to week 2?
I look for us to expand the offensive playbook. A lot. USC had to exhaust its offensive playbook to get the W against a solid UNC team. I do believe that we were overlooking ULL heading into our fun next 3 games. With that, we got a close game, but we also used a modest playbook. We had the luxury and advantage to not reveal our entire playbook. Essentially, we either ran the ball, or we threw it deep. Nothing groundbreaking will be scouted from that. I look for us to have much more diverse play calls next week (or so I hope).
Also, hopefully the coaches will see that Towles cannot hit the deep ball every time, and will incorporate other play calls to hide that flaw - similar to the cross-field pass he hit on the money. (or if his first half vs USC is like that of the second half yesterday, then yes, insert Barker).
I imagine we will see a moderately different O vs USC.
