For me the operative question isn't "How good?" but "How soon?" There's talent here, it's just a question of how it coheres.

Things I'm certain about:
1) Hoffpauir was not great in coverage in '14 and he looked baaadddd tonight. Coaches might have to drop Hoffpauir at NB and go with next up.

2) It looks like the DL really is legitimately six-deep. Guess that wasn't just coachspeak!

3) The three-man dime front in non-third-and-long has to go. KSU were just gashing it on normal downs and it's just simple math.


The big question, of course, is the offensive line. How much of the issues were simply typical gel issues, how many were personnel, how many were off days and so on?

Otherwise most things looked good. Just...how soon will it all come together? My suspicion for the most likely scenario from this year was 2014, where the team became its best self late. I think that's still in play -- but it's a question whether everything comes together against SC, against UCLA, or even later?
