I’ll admit it, I bought into the hype over the summer. The offense was going to be better (how could it be worse, really). We were going to see a new Tyrone Swoopes under center, moving the team down field like a guy playing with renewed confidence in himself. The running game would be the focal point, wearing down defenders behind an experienced offensive line. Daje Johnson was in Charlie Strong’s good graces.

Sadly, what we saw was a repeat of the offense struggles against good competition.
