Im just going to say it (Hopefully no down votes):
I asked Bitter last year what he thought it meant that Logan was only going 5-15 in scrimmages.. He replied that it wasn't a big deal, because there were a lot of new receivers, and he hadn't jelled with them enough to be productive. In my head, i didn't feel good about it, and sure enough, the offense never manifested any sustained success.
Well fast forward to this year, and a whole off season to work with Loeffler, and Logan's being about as productive. It doesn't make me feel awesomely optimistic.
Gosh, i feel horrible for saying that. I was really hoping for an offensive showing today. Hopefully others that actually attended the scrimmage may be able to share some insight, as to why I am wrong to think like this.

I think what you're saying isn't so much about Logan but that it was a harbinger to the lackluster offense we saw last year and you hope it's not the same for this year. I share that fear.
However, I think we all have to remember that no matter how great Lefty's new offense is, and how much promise the new RB's, WR's and OL has the fact remains that they are all still NEW.
It's going to take time and I'm sure that every game is going to be full of flashes of greatness and mind numbing frustration. I think it would be unfair to judge Lefty's Beach Flow with only one game or one season. He needs time to rebuild our program. That doesn't mean they can't win. They will struggle but together there is hope to beat anyone. Yes, even to #BEATBAMA
And.... off the soapbox

I completely agree with this. Logan might have a rough year stats wise (similar to last year) and yet there might not be much more he could do. It all starts with the OL, which i expect to improve over last year. Next we need to see more out of the RBs, which is a group I believe has more potential this year than last as well. By far my biggest concern is the WRs, and French's scrimmage report certainly doesn't have me feeling much better about them as a whole. I may be beating a dead horse, but I'm not feeling very confident in DJ Coles being available or a great playmaker this year, especially given the info we're hearing out of camp. So yes, I'm also worried about the offensive unit as a whole, but I'm far more concerned about specific positions leading to struggles that may be shouldered by LT.

I agree and I do believe that the defense is just that good. The INT's are the most troubling..the 76 yards on the ground without the top two backs seems like a positive thing.

Can anyone remember a preseason that didn't have the defense whooping the offense? The offense also had its hands tied behind its back since we still haven't unleashed 3rd and Logan. I know Leoffler says he doesn't like running the quarterback, but I really hope he will make an exception versus Bama and have at least 10 designed runs in the game with Logan. If he doesn't, we will be left wondering what if. If Logan rushes for 100 yards, I like our chances.

I think you have to realize how incredibly inexperienced the WR corps is. We are so thin/inexperienced there that it's insane.
I'm not saying its not the WR's. I'm just saying that it sounds exactly like the scrimmages reports from last year, and we know how that turned out.
I'm probably being too judgmental, but a couple beers on an empty stomach before lunch will do that.
