If our defense is that good, we don't have to have an elite offense to contend for the West. Not at all.
If the defense would have been top 15 last year we still lose to bama and ole miss. Auburn and lsu would have still been toss ups. All 4 games the offense was HORRIBLE, and they easily still could have lost all 4 of those. It is a myth that this is some great offense.
I'm not saying the offense will be worse this year, I actually think they will be better because I think Mazzone will be able to control the game better than Spav.
The Oline had arguably more talent in 2015, and miles more experience.
The RBs should be better this year. Much more talent.
The WRs are the same as last year, so that group should be better.
The QBs are less talented, but hopefully better leaders and smarter football players, and could make the unit better in 2016 with consistency.
The OC is more experienced and hopefully is a huge step up from Spav. He needs to be.
It all hinges on the Oline and ability of Mazzone to make the offense more consistently good, not sporadically great.
