The offense showed some serious improvement the the last 4 games albeit against weaker competition. In those 4 games Richt showed the ability to make halftime adjustments to get the O rolling
My continued fear will be Red Zone Offense and when we can't out talent good defenses, for reason I've stated many times.
Hope to see Richt add some new wrinkles in the off season.
Statistically, NC State was the best defense we faced all season. Pitt was horrible against the pass but was one of the better ACC teams against the run and rushing the passer. FSU UNC and ND all have average, at best defenses. The truth is, the offense crapped the bed against FSU and UNC and didn't flip the switch until the second half against ND. There's plenty of blame to go around for struggling in the first two losses. Poor game plans, absolutely putrid offensive line play, questionable play calling, Kaaya struggling (possibly with a shoulder injury) and receivers who were dropping 4-5 passes a game. The promising sign is that they made changes. Play calling that played more to our strengths and vastly improved offensive line play turned the season from a total offensive bust into something at least respectable. If they can improve on third downs, even a little, and cut back on drive killing penalties (Stacy Coley is graduating) they should be able to post a really potent offense next season.
