I thought he had a good shot to be the OC. I'm glad to see him in this role.

Hurts to the right and Hurts to the left isn't going to work (we saw how Clemson stopped him in the second half of the NCG. It wouldn't surprise me if the offense is 70-30 pass to run during the Spring (but very likely to be more 50-50 when the season comes).
