Also crazy: I think the O will be better
Our talent leaving was great, of course, but our talent replacing them is at worst a half-step back. Probably a better OL on the whole. Almost certainly a deeper receiving corps.
And we have a generational talent at QB, and continuity in offensive coaching with an OC that has fielded a Heisman Trophy winning QB previously. It's been a while since we've had that. We forget what a positive indicator that is.
I know the run-first crowd does not like Denbrock much, but commentary that we didn't trust Carr, or the Love rushing attack, enough in the Miami game suffers a fair bit from hindsight-is-20/20. At the end of the day, Denbrock's fielded top-5 offenses and run the ball plenty. With this defense, that's good enough to go all the way.
