Anderson needs to run whatever he ran in 2015. I can't argue with adding Briles staff members though. You guys have given me hell because I never pick you guys to win the conference, but this year, I think Arkansas State will be the league's team to beat. Troy and APP have a lot going for them, but all signs are pointing to an offensive return to 2015 from the Red Wovles. You guys returned almost no one offense last year, and managed to turn it around near the end of the year. This year, a boatload of talent returns, and I honestly think Buster Faulkner was the main issue for you guys last season. With Anderson back at the helm, and a second year QB, this will be a tough bunch to stop.

Their main issue was how they approached the season. Their OL had not really practiced together since the end of the previous season, and they had a new OL coach, so they were absolutely not ready at all there.

Because of depth concerns they did not have a very physical fall camp, and that hurt.

Also hurt that their HC made know bones out of the fact that, because of their talent, it was Dallas or Bust, and that put a lot of unnecessary pressure on their new OC, and all the high profile newbie players.

This years team is as talented, and probably more talented than last years but again is faced with getting a lot of very talented newbies up to speed, but at least their HC is taking a more low key approach, which should help everyone.

Look for another slow start but their talent almost insures that they will a very good team at some point.
