how much better will the OL play this year be relative to last year?

It should be better by the end of the year.

Sullen is a SR, so he can make up for lack of talent with experience. He may very well get passed up by Westerman or Kozan by the end of the year though.

Greg Robinson should be a stud at LT.

Slade is a good, not great LT. He has his moments of greatness though. He played amazing in the Peach Bowl last year. It was VA, but he still played better than he had all year.

Center will be very good once Dismukes gets back. No telling what to expect from his backup against Clempson. He has in game experience, but not a lot. He's probably the smartest guy on the team though, so at least he'll know the plays.

and RT is a little scary. Avery Young is a true freshman there, and has gotten a ton of praise from other players and the coaches, which is pretty rare, but he's still a true freshman and I'm sure he'll have some freshmen moments. He's got size though - 6'6" and around 295-300


All in all, the OL this year has a ton more talent than we had last year, and even more starting experience. They should get better as the year goes on. There's really not telling how good they will be since there are so many unknowns there.
