1. Good receiving corp who can get separation and not drop the ball. 2014/15 seasons had significantly better receivers than the last two years.
2. Good running game so the other defense can't pin their ears back to pass rush and drop 7 in coverage. It helps to have 3rd and short, not 3rd and long.
3. Good offensive line, both for running game and pass blocking.
4. A defense that keeps you in the game, so you are not always forced into playing catch up football in the 2nd quarter.

That said, I am NOT a big fan of Moore as a QB. Lots of fumbles, among other things.

However, our QBs have been in less than ideal situations the past two years. This is not "just" about their talent level. Some of our posters need to let up a little bit.

Yep. If he's the best we can start at the position it will be another bowl-less season.

That receiving corp was unreal. NFL Receiver Johnny Holton, NFL Receiver Chris Moore, Fringe NFL Receiver Mekale McKay, all time receptions leader Shaq Washington, and solid starter Max Morrison. That's an SEC lineup.

So true. That receiving core was as loaded as it has ever been (including 2009).
