No QBs that had ever thrown an NCAA pass. Virtually no receiving corps. Looked barren to me.
im not saying that either of these guys would have set the world on fire, but lee and powell were on the roster and were run off by fritz so this statement is 100% false. also, teddy veal was around and he wasnt too bad.
also, every qb on the roster minus glenn c is a fritz recruit, so if we dont like our stable of arms the only person to blame is fritz.
This offense has much more in common with Memphis, TCU and every other zone read scheme than the "option" that we'll face this weekend. We lack a QB who can stretch the field with his arm. Until Fritz finds this QB we will continue to suck.

This , unfortunately, is probably correct. We have running quarterbacks who can "kind of " throw. We need throwing quarterbacks who can "kind of " run. Like dare I say, Lindsey Scott. Or the greatest example, Shaun king. Not giving up on banks yet, but I'm not convinced he's the one.
I think if Banks wasn't injured, Tulane would be 2-1 heading into this Saturday, and most of us would be feeling pretty good about the rest of the season.
Let's not underestimate the receiver depth. Remember one of the many confounding things about CCJ's tenure was his inability to actually recruit the one position successfully that we all thought he should've (WRs).
The major criticism I have of Fritz is that Tulane is still having major blunders on special teams. That kind of stuff should have largely been cleaned up by now.

Watching the highlights of the OU vs. Ohio State, the level of execution was simply amazing on the part of OU. Both teams were well prepared to start the game, but Oklahoma took it to another level with their execution in the second half. This Lincoln Riley guy is no dope, if he doesn't go the Chip Kelly route of thinking he's God's gift to coaching OU may single-handedly save the Big12.

or "the Big" or the SEC may come calling for OU...this would give the SEC the Oklahoma and a good portion of the DFW TV markets with both A/M and OU in the fold....but I gottat tell ya...don't sleep on Okie State...they may have enuff "O" and speed to beat OU this year...now back to the posted subject line...I think Fritz deserve at least two years before we can complain about this offense..I think it will look much different two years from now...and I ask a question, would you like to have Navy and Ga Tech record over the last 10 years, they seem to run a boring as hell offense also

or even the "single wing", since we cannot get enough good players to run the "double wing'

On a serious note, Fritz has only had 1 full recruiting class. He has 1 of his recruits starting on our O-line. It will take at least another year for his lineman to get ready. Developing O-line and D-line takes time because recruits need to add weight and get stronger in the weight room. It's very rare to have fully developed high schoolers that are ready at the D-1 level once they get to campus. It just takes some time and unfortunately we are still seeing the end of CJ to Fritz transition of where CJ recruited "Road-graters type of lineman" where Fritz wants agile-smaller lineman. Growing pains.

I would settle for "Buffalo Wild Wings" or the "Wings and More' Offense if it would score some points
