The only concern I have about Bennefield is the loss of some of his weapons.
A lot of what I saw out of UTC last year put Bennefield in a position to make plays by utilizing the vertical and horizontal rushing attack with Craine and Bagley. I don't know what Arth's system will look like, but I do think Bennefield was as reliant on his offensive personnel as any QB in the league. Most of the other top QBs (Hodges, Hannon, Cobb, Russ, etc.) were sort of one-man bands. Bennefield seemed to heavily rely on his offensive players forcing defenses to defend more space, opening up his running and throwing lanes. It will be interesting to see how he does this season. Really a good looking player.
