They're good, but not nearly the dominant unit many of us think them to be.

They are overrated as much as I don't want to admit it. They have been getting beat at the point of attack.

Yup, said that earlier in the week. They're a bit overhyped. We definitely need more depth and competition there. Lacking of true OT's.

Skipper is a big liability.

Mitch Smothers isn't an SEC caliber starting Center.

That 4th and short confirms it. Really bad to not be able to pick that up against a team like this.

Yep, totally agree. The fact that our rushing offense was like 8th in the conference in SEC play showed that the O-line was fool's gold last year.

"Biggest O-line in football" doesn't mean shite if we can't convert 4th and short against fricking Toledo.

The lack of a lead blocker on an inside run and the horrible holding penalties have been a real slap in the face this half. We are much better at passing the ball, but our run game has taken a huge step back so far.

And Brandon is going to be great this year, but without a run game, i don't expect our passing game to be successful in conference play.

We really miss JWill. That was a bigger loss than I think most of us admitted.

We feel it more and more every quarter that passes.

The number of times I've seen Skipper pushed into the backfield is pathetic.
