Two easy things to fix from last year that will make the biggest difference?
No false starts in the red zone. After re-watching several games from last year it happened so many times, sometimes on the same series. Usually if you have a good to great running game then the red zone should be easy but so many times we would get down there and on first down someone one (usually 57) would pop up early and then we would be behind the 8 ball the next 3 downs and settle for a field goal try. I am not saying it is an easy thing but not jumping early is something that can be identified and corrected.

No holding calls or blocks in the back on kick off returns. If Hine's runback against Utah had not been called back I would have really liked our chances. That game alone would have been enough to put this on the list but there were several other times when it dramatically changed field position after excellent returns by Hine. I personally like Hine and Lasike because Lasike did a great job blocking for Hine and when they kicked away from Adam, Lasike always seemed to run straight forward, trucking fools and ended up on the 40 or so. Their effectiveness was a real bright spot on the team but because so many big runs were erased it never really felt like it.

Please tell me anything else that would be both fixable and impactful.
