Why is the Defense In Such a Better Place Than the Offense

[CHorn427]

The “better recruiting” part is nonsense.

Arch Manning was one of the biggest recruiting wins of all time.

Got 4 WRs that were 5* in one service or another last year. Wingo- 5*. TEs recruited well (including portal). OL recruiting is solid. CJ Baxter- highly recruited. Solid recruiting other than him at RB

They’re young and the defense isn’t. The coaches have said that essentially the experienced defenders like Taafe, etc can make fix bad play calls or make them look like good play calls by playing well.

On the other hand, the inexperienced offense can make good play calls look bad. For instance- the first play call vs tOSU. Schemed up very well and Arch skipped it off the turf. 
 

Offense just needs to develop with more experience

The past two years even with all the experience we have the offense wasn’t good enough to win a national title. 

Yes. My hope is that Arch has the tools to maximize Sark’s offense once he hits his full stride.  A more realistic expectation might be that we are a year away.

We haven’t recruited offensive line near the same level we have defensive line. Running back we’ve gotten some good to really good running running backs but I wouldn’t say we have recruited an elite running back outside Baxter and now Cooper. Cook and Wingo are the only receivers you can point to as elite recruits. Outside of QB and tight end on offense you can’t point to a position and say we were elite at recruiting it. In fact I’d argue that offensive line is the weakest position group recruited on the team outside of the pancake factory group.
