Skill position wise this year should be night and day better. After Knight and Sterling Shepard got hurt those two positions got pretty awful. Even when Knight came back he wasn't the same and without out any decent WR's it's hard to look very good throwing the ball. This year it sounds like at the very least there will be depth at QB. All 3 will be better than an injured Trevor Knight or freshman Cody Thomas. WR is not even close. Much deeper this year. RB with Perine, Ross and Ford were really good but Perine, Mixon, Ross and Brooks should be better also.
THe OL is the obvious huge difference. It was pretty apparent by the end of the year though that OU game plan had to be to run the ball. They had no other options without any receivers and QB's. That made it very easy for defenses to load up on the run and made it tougher on the OL (even though they still did pretty well). If the OL can just be average the offense should be much better. That's not a given yet but I feel like that will come.
