Will the O-line protect Hutson Mason well?

I watched Richt's gator bowl press conference and found his comments on Mason interesting. Said the kid got sacked 5 times and he got a bit rattled.
Pelini thrives on creating crazy pressure to confuse the QB and turns it up even more when facing immobile or young QB's, so I'm 99% sure he'll blitz HM early & often. We have an above-average D-line(DE with Top-10 draft potential) but if they're neutralized and our blitzes don't get home, Mason will go to town. it's what happened to us against a strong O-line from MSU.
My question is how do you feel about your O-line? poor, average, strong, elite? I don't know much on them as your other positions but I'd assume they're competent run-blockers with the type of season Gurley had.

A good word for our OL is "inconsistent". They have done pretty well for most of the season but occasionally have a really bad game. One guy in particular (John Theus) tends to get burned a lot.
With that said, I expect to see a lot of HB screens to Gurley if the defense is bringing it every play.

Bobo featured a good dose of screens against us last year. The play that put the nail in our coffin was that 60+ yard WR screen to Conley against a Jailbreak blitz

FIFY... and to answer your question about our O-Line, I don't even think they give a shite.

Did you read the scout report on the husker board?

O-line is above average I'd say. Inconsistent but when they are on the QB gets plenty of time.

These bowl match-ups in the SEC are going to be interesting this year.......
Are SEC offenses really that good this year?
........or has SEC Defense reached an all-time low?......
shite's bizarre.

UGA's Oline has always been mediocre to bad but sometimes flashes of brilliance.

Oline has handled the big pass rushers (clowney).
It is the undersized speed guys who have given us trouble. We have counters against that type of 4 man pass rush (screens, inside draws, slants off of cut blocks). But we often get caught and then have to adjust.
Murray could kill a blitzing team. it was defensive suicide. Mason would be fine from the spread formations. I'm not certain how well he would handle a blitzing team from under center.

It's the greatest offensive line in Georgia Bulldog history.

Georgia's line at times shows flashes of adequacy but they have a penchant to be lazy, slow, and flat fricking awful.
That one end y'all have will destroy theus
