Well, in all fairness, it's not like the west coast offense they ran was inordinately successful - Big Bill was still trying to run it with the existing personnel, which if I'm not mistaken resulted in one of the worst QB ratings in school history, and a generally terrible offensive unit (that gradually got better as the season went on, to be fair).

No you're right, they did suck last year. Mainly on the hands of the receivers and most importantly QB Joe Daily (who has since transferred). Daily had a ridiculous number of turnovers - though to be fair, I've never seen a guy who had so many interceptions that first went in and out of a receivers hands - , and tons of poor decisions (ran out of bounds on 4th and goal against Southern Miss, down by 4, with about minute left in the game....would have gotten us to a bowl if he'd just lowered his head and dished out a hit.)
But our receiving is slightly improved from JUCO transfers, and we have a new QB, who ran the WCO in JUCO, all the way to the JUCO national championship game. Just by cutting interceptions by a thrid 19 -> 12 will probably win us one to two more games.
And actually the defense was a supreme dissappointment last year after the Tx Tech disaster. But this is another year and the influx of talent from recruiting should be a big boost.
