Watched a replay of the bowl win over UF last night and two things stood out:
1. We must become more dynamic at the QB position. Keene has only average arm talent
and is not a running threat. Plumlee is much more suited for what Malzahn likes to do
offensively and can be the dual threat that pressures a defense. Keene reminds me of
former QB Kyle Israel, more of a game manager than an offensive weapon. If Plumlee shows
to be a capable passer in camp, then the QB ”controversy“ will be settled quickly.
2. We MUST find an answer to our kicking game. Sean Moffitt and Matthew Wright were great
kickers for us and we have not been good since. Obarski has the leg strength but has not
shown he can kick under pressure. Only 1 of 6 from over 40 yards last season and he missed
a 45 yard attempt in the bowl game. Given our schedule this year, it would not surprise that at
least one game could be decided by the kicking game. Have to believe this is a priority for our
coaching staff.
