re: Is is possible the talent isn't being developed as it has been in the past?

The qb play sucks. But football is won in the trenches, and this offensive line as a group looks like the worst of the Saban era. Can’t make a hole for the running backs, can’t pass block. Any movement beyond a straight rush causes brains to explode. There is no excuse. Bama should be able to line up and get 4 yards every play against USF. The era of soft boys instead of hard men has reached its zenith.
