Heading into Big 12 Football Media Days, here's one question for each team in the conference.

One Question For Every Big 12 Team Heading Into Media Days

With Big 12 Football Media Days kicking off in Frisco this week, here's one question for each team heading into the season: Arizona: Is the offensive overhaul enough?After being picked to finish fifth in their first ever season, it's safe to say that their 4-8 season was a massive disappointment.

Thanks. I like the idea of having one question per team to keep in mind as we go into the season. Might be fun for Jake to do a circle back at the end of the season to see what the answers to these questions turn out to be

Is the implication of this that they used to make more but are getting paid less as the money has to be spread around more?

Offense: Rocco needs to complete over 65% of his passes, given that our two NFL WR's are gone. We will go as far as Rocco can take the offense.

Defense: It's run defense more than pressure IMO... The defense needs to get back to the top of the conference against the run (Remember the Big 12 title game). While pressure would be great, I just don't see Campbell changing his system to bringing 3 and dropping 8 in coverage. We also have no NFL talent on the edge, just Orange in the middle

I get that's a reflection on the type of guys we have on the team, but in this era, that's not something I'd want to publicize..

Makes some of the recent recruiting losses make sense though..

No idea what you are referring to.

I have no idea what our new WR's will do this year, but if they don't separate, no level of accuracy by Rocco will matter. Football is a team sport. The line has to hold long enough to get the ball off. The receivers have to run the right routes and get separation (not to mention catch the ball). If these things don't happen, well, it won't be pretty.

Using the short passing game, including throwing to RB's is needed in our offense. Make enemy LB's tackle in space. If we have threats to catch out of the backfield, it opens up the middle for our TE's. Then if the safeties start jumping the TE's, you throw it deep.

Noel was pretty fast, do we have anyone on the roster that fast this year?

They could have gone elsewhere and made more $.
