Offense

The offense began the season trying to do some things that didn’t play to the strength of its playmakers. The coaching staff tried to make Jordan Travis more of a pocket passer instead of doing what he does best, which is using his legs as a weapon.

I understand it to a degree. Travis has been injury-prone in the past due to his style of play, and they felt he had made improvements as a passer in fall camp. However, that improvement didn’t go from the driving range to the actual course.

They also tried and failed miserably with a two-quarterback system. However, since they’ve gone with Jordan Travis as the sole starter, with the coaching staff going back to using his most valuable weapon?

The offense has seen a total difference in production, scoring over 30 points in the last two games. They’ve tailored the offense to its playmakers, and that has made all the difference in the world. I can’t wait to assess these numbers at the end of the season if everyone can remain relatively healthy.
