What do we need to see from offense?

Pearsall and Etienne are losses but Badger fills that experience role and Wilson said himself he was just running around last year. He's a net gain over himself last year. Hawkins probably becomes the equivalent of the super fast and talented freshman that becomes an x factor but not reliable. Don't know if Mizell is ready but he's a year older and more experienced. Jean is an unknown but obviously Jackson and Dike bring the same experience plus a year.

Tight end is way more experienced this year.

As long as Johnson stays healthy to lead the RB group talent isn't an issue although Etienne in my opinion hurts until we see which backs step up. We know someone will.

Mertz should be playing faster given a 2nd year in the offense.

I don't see how this offense shouldn't be significantly better than last year. The offensive line definitely handicapped the offense last year but the talent across the board is better this year regardless.

Edit to add... this is why I don't get the trepidation about our schedule and why as a Napier supporter, I also think he HAS to show it on the field this year. We competed in almost every game with a patchwork mess of a team. We are significantly better starting out this year. Dont care about the schedule. Good teams dont worry about having winning records. He built a good roster. Other years we were turning a blind eye to some massive issues. No excuses this year. Any real failure barring terrible injury luck will be on the coaching.

I think the talent positions are similar with more young depth with potential no doubt.. Mertz being in his second year could be a huge factor but line is still where I’m looking for the difference.

Repped.

I will just add. Dike isn't just experienced. He is really good and really fast, and Mertz knows how to hit him in stride.

Praying that Tank can be half of what Wilson was last year.

Top 10. It’s the third year, super experienced Covid QB

On the field it means lots of points, good 2 minute O, being able to play with the lead and behind, and Billy is an offensive guy.

From the offense we only need to see one thing. More points than the defense gives up. That's it.
