1. More Derek Henry. While TJY was solid, as expected, we need to feed the beast a little more. DH had 17 carries to TJ's 23, but DH's average was 1.1 yards more than TJ's (6.6 to 5.5 ypc).
2. More OJ Howard catching passes. Howard didn't catch ONE pass on Saturday (according to RollTide.com stats), and frankly, I only remember the one time we targeted him and we all know what happened on that play. This guy is a weapon who needs to be used!!!
3. More dbs breaking up passes and ints!!! Knock a few out of the air or, even better, pick off a pass or two and those "confident" qbs we keep facing will start having some doubts. Which also leads to...
4. More qb sacks. Put that qb on his butt more, or at least hurry him up and make him throw off balance or out of timing and we'll see more of #3.
5. More JK Scott. I know we never want to punt, but as CNS says, "Every drive should end with a kick" and one of those possibilities is a punt. That boy has a cannon for a leg!!!
6. More Jacob Coker. Only three plays at the end of the game and every Bama fan wants to know what he's capable of. Blake Sims had a nice, solid opener, but let's see that powerful arm and athleticism we've heard about!
7. More touchdowns. We don't know how "good" WVU defense is or will be as the season goes on, but we think we'll see much better in the SEC. Having said that, we had to turn to Adam Griffen for 4 fgs and we only scored 21 points off of tds. We'll need to win a few games this year like we did against TAMU last year by outscoring some of these HUNH teams. The offense needs to operate at a higher level and stretch the field more and bust a few big tds!!! And for all that has been said about the lack of passes beyond 10-15 yards down the field, what happened to the screen pass in our arsenal??? Only remember one screen pass the whole game and it was not a big gainer.
