Grading the Boilers - Offense
- Thread starter Woodsa
- Start date
I give them a C+. More points should have been scored against Illinois. Turnovers and mistakes in the red zone against a mediocre team isn't a good look...
Where are we getting the verbiage for the grades? How is “looking great and can hold their own” above “a top 10 offense”. I will give them a solid B even though they are not a top 10 offense.
We are moving the ball very well so far (5th in Big in ypg) but we could have scored more points.

Running game has significantly improved. I am highly confident that the OL is much deeper and trending in the right direction. Great job to the coaches and players for working their butts off.
RB/QB has been good. I expected more King and some of another RB. Horvath is a wrecking ball so I’ll take it. QB- O’Connell has been great, especially for him. He’s pretty slow though.
WR is loaded. TE is very good. I like the roster.
I’d give the offense a B+ so far. I am worried that we are still a little young and not physical enough to compete with a highly talented D. We’ll see. Time will tell..

I wondered the same. A top 10 offense (or defense) gets an A. I vote B but more in the top 25 range. Considering the absence of Rondale and King, that’s probably more like a B+.
Hard to think we’d be in a game against a top 10 team this year. The OL has improved, but I’m not convinced we’d push Penn St. around. If we had Rondale, I think we’d have a chance to compete. I do think the roster is trending in the right direction.
I think our WR core is top 10 even without Moore, maybe top 5 with him. I just think that the other positions on offense are still developing and are not quite there yet.
I think some people on here equate not seeing a shitshow with this being a "great" offense. Bell and the other wide receivers have been terrific. The O-line is significantly improved and the D is showing signs of life. But to think this team, as its played the past two weeks, is ready to compete for the West, is a bit premature. Do they have the talent? Maybe. Have they shown it? No.
I would still be happy with a 6-3 type of season. Going to a bowl would still be fantastic. I see some definite positive signs in the past 2 games.
Not sure who "those people" are.
As you so accurately articulated, the "O-line is significantly improved"... the WRs are "terrific".
Yet, it's "some people on here equate not seeing a sh*tshow" that's the problem.
No, Pat. That's not it.
I like you. You just need to relax and stop b*tching about people being happy with progress.... and find a way for yourself to ENJOY the progress, knowing it's always going to be a work in progress and that things will never be perfect for you.
Just ... enjoy the ride. It beats the hell out of the alternative!
