And I don't think our OL is gonna be as garbage as some people seem to think. Sullen and Slade both started last season. Dismukes will be back and Robinson and Young are absolute freaks physically.


You return 3 player with game time experience. What happens if 1 or more of those guys go down? According to the depth chart, it's freshmen that will have to step up.

Speaking from experience here. MSU had much the same situation as you do, had a decent OL and was able to move the ball against you. Then in that game lost 3 to injuries. one was for the season.

As a result, the season went 6-6 with talented WRs and RBs. Ballard could hardly run because the young OL was not shedding blocks and getting into the 2s.

You are:
1- extremely thin.
2- very inexperienced with your starters.

That's my only point.

Oh I agree completely. If injuries hit us we lose the little experience we have. My point was I actually think as a unit they will be better that the group last year. Robinson and Young are both more talented than Greene and Moseley.

Do I expect us to have some rough nights? Of course. There are gonne be plenty of freshman moments this season. However I don't think we are gonna be absolutely garbage up front
