[QUOTE="stpetewreck, post: 23142, member: 967"] Personally, I am most excited about.....an identity again. All this season I felt like we struggled with any sort of an identity. I can't imagine being CPJ, and having to stomach what felt like the truth to me: I just recruited a QB with some very good God-given talents that can open up the playbook....but wait, he's not making base reads well at all in year 3, and we can't really block well enough to fit his talents. This whole season felt like we had little identity. Are we going to run base flexbone, and many tripple option plays? Are we going to run Pistol formation with a few double option plays? Are we going to run a tight flexbone formation and try to chuck the ball more? I AM biased (no qualms with stating that)..but I certainly miss seeing a high number of base tripple option plays, throughout the season, from the flexbone that are blocked so well that you see that alley open up before an AB gets there and you know it's going to be a big play (See Anthony Allen catching the pitch down the sideline vs. Clemson ala 2009). I could be totally wrong because we all have a small sample size, but with Justin...I can't see how we don't play to what I imagine his strengths being...running option plays. Not just dive, dive, toss, throw. I just want us to do what we're going to do and get better at it. Not have another season where it seems like we're trying to figure out what's best for our team to handle/run. Having said all that. It's all about putting more points on the board than your opponent. And short of BYU, we were in every game this season even without what I'd describe as 'a team identity'. Go jackets! Best of luck, Vad! Seriously, thanks for some of the prettiest spirals I've seen on the flats and all the heart/emotion you've shown. Time to step up, Justin! You didn't come here to be a backup, show us why you feel that way. [/QUOTE]
