Why the double standard? How come the running backs, receivers, linemen and defensive backs get singled out, but not Driskel?


Never occurred I guess that Boom doesn't have a qb to replace Driskel yet and the last thing you wanna do is tear down the only building in town.

As far as the OL...I like to think of myself as somewhat knowledgable of OL play...had a close friend who played OL at UF under Ray Graves in the sixties and we watched a few Gator games together in the stands...he could pick apart details. Our OL didn't play that well. It was fair but Bama constantly had folks in Driskels face and worse of all we had no push against a young (but talented) DL. We also had the same problem against UK and only late in the game did we finally wear them out to allow rushing yds to be gained easier. I thought UK just had a brickwall defense but Im seeing a trend.

Thurman is serviceable but wouldn't start for most SEC teams honestly. Trenton is out of position at OG but he isn't quick enough to play OT at an elite level....but he has the huge frame that makes him more suited for OT....not many 6'8" OGs around. Our best players right now are Garcia and Green. Humphries is good but is one year away from dominating...Sharp is going to take someones job away soon....but it might be in 2015 after Green leaves. Tyler Moore doesn't impress me that much and I know folks who played with him in high school.
The real truth is this: Boom took over and he HAD to recruit defense as a priority for a couple of years and I agree with his strategy...it worked out well in 2012. But he now has shifted to offense to compensate for the lack of OL recruited and one good one was an OG who was kicked off team. Our numbers are bad and it may continue if we don't recruit our azz off and make it priority # 1. We need 15 OL on shollys.

Recruiting 2 OL in 2 years was not a smart strategy, no matter how you slice it.
