Spav and Bloesch were the two major coaching changes on offense, and our offense jumped from three 30-point games to seven 30-point games. You can quibble with his QB management all you want but it's pretty darn clear he contributed to a big jump in the performance of our offense

Its hard to know how much improved we wouldve been under *any* new OC who has a modern college offense, considering the talent we have at the skill positions, and also upgrading the Offensive Line coach, but yeah I def think some credit is warranted/due.

As far as the transfer QBs: Jax n Fin. Their commits were very early in Spav coming aboard, so I wouldnt doubt he favored them, subconsciously or not, as a way of rewarding their commitments at a time when our QB room appeared to be in dire straights.

1. Fin: Experience; decent pocket passer.

2. SJV: Super mobile, promising high ceiling; also some experience.

3. FM: Super eager; engaging; built like a QB; and follows directions.

If I were the OC at the start of the year, of course I would lead with one of the two experienced QBs. 1 and 2 both showed promise until they didn't. FM got a start on, I believe, a "let's give him a shot, it's a ranked team, so what do we have to lose" basis.
