It is great to hear that DJU is healthy and in better shape. I am sure this will lead to on the field improvement. However, what will help most, is a different approach to game planning than last year.

For most of the year, DJU was either running for his life or staring down receivers. If the OL doesn't improve and if receivers can't catch, the results will be very similar. Now, don't get me started on some of his errant throws...but this wasn't the main issue as those usually made up only 2-4 throws per game, granted some were into the stands.

Here is how to build confidence in a QB. Tell him the exact route/receiver he is going to throw to on certain plays. Forget progressions and reads. Get in rhythm, 5-7 step drop, look off the safety and let it rip, don't think, know in advance exactly where you are going. On these types of plays, it is the receivers responsibility to go get the ball, fight for it, knowing it is coming #### or high water. If it is intercepted it is the receivers fault (assume the throw isn't completely off). Have plays where they tell him, go with your 2nd read, that is the throw we want you to make. Scheme a for a specific route to be the primary target, Alabama does this incredibly well, the QB has no doubt where the ball is going.

This is not a solution for an entire game plan but in certain situations, down & distance, score, momentum, it can allow him to drop back and play freely. If you watch some of his Hudl videos from HS and even BC & ND freshman year tape, when he gets in rhythm with confidence he can make any throw needed.

If DJU has a "solid" season we go to the CFP, it he doesn't and Cade is forced into action, I don't see us running the table. At this stage Cade isn't as developed at TL, he still needs one more year.
