Will has gone from 10th in the sec in passer rating up to 6th in the last few games. He's played much better, and his passer rating reflects that. Good job, will.
I almost never say "we lost cause of refs". They did hose us in both Arky and Memphis games but we shouldn't have been in a position to lose either of those games regardless. Our good run D gave up 200 yds rushing on Sat. We can't be letting that happen. They shouldn't have scored more than low-20's against us IMO.
My main concern right now with Leach is I'm not sure what his emphasis is on DL & LB & S recruiting. We ok but we need to be faster and more physical in all of those. DL & LB are where we need to reach for the 4* and the Jeff Simmons 5* types. Can't be letting other teams steal our homegrown stud DLs.

Impressive. Makes sense bc his average per attempt in both of those two games was 8.8, whereas his average was 6.4 coming into those games. Passer rating skied when his yards per attempt jumped 38%.

It is impressive and a credit to will and leach. I preached all off-season about how the yds/att was a key to improved offense. I think we all see the improvement the last 2 weeks as that stat improved

Yep. And I think the willingness to run the ball more has allowed for that stat to jump.

Is it willingness to run or is it that our QB is beginning to understand when the run is there?

I agree so I guess we must ask, does that mean Leach is a sorry teacher, Will is as dumb as a rock or it is one of those things that come with maturity and experience?

Experience diagnosing the defense. Maybe a little maturity too but I'm not sure. Will still isn't fully there with reading imo. Currently he's committing to the run too much imo. At least at the goaline. There are plays where you can tell presnap in the last two games that we're running no matter what. I think with time that will get worked out of his system. He's got 3 more years here and after watching the last two games on him I'm sold he can do what needs to be done. He's fitting passes into tight windows which will defeat drop 8.
