No Easy Games Ahead

We have a great defense but they will get scored on, especially if the offense can't sustain drives or generate turnovers. Sark projects confidence put I am skeptical. I think the OL will be the limiting factor. Sark needs to scheme to minimize that weakness, otherwise he will lose his skill positions including Arch.

The biggest worry if the offense doesn't click is what happened to LSU, defense was on the field so much they just tired out.

Yeah, we’ve got a defense that can hang with anyone, but if the offense can’t move the chains, that defense is going to wear down. The real issue? The offensive line. You can’t hide a shaky OL forever—if protection collapses or the run game stalls, all those skill guys (including Arch) get wasted.

That’s where Sark has to step up. Confidence in pressers is fine, but game plans have to protect the weak spots. Quick passes, tempo, RPOs, extra blockers—whatever it takes to buy time until the line develops.

The flip side: OLs do come together over time. If Sark schemes smart early, this offense will find its rhythm as the season goes on. The talent at QB, RB, and WR is real—it just needs the foundation to hold up.

Bottom line: skepticism is fair right now, but patience is the play. If Sark balances short-term fixes with long-term development, we’ll be fine.
