We were without our best offensive weapon against Southern. Excited to Pettway run this year. Guy is an absolute beast, and no doubt our offense wasn't the same without him last year. He will have his work cut out for him against Clemson's d-line though for sure.

For people that watch the o-line a little closer than I usually do, how did they look run blocking? I know there was some struggles in pass protection, and we have two new guys on the left side. How do you think they fared overall? I still feel like we have some guys on the o-line that man up with anybody in the country and open up a hole for our backs.

They did well. Smith and James created some huge holes. I would also say that GaSouth had decent DL for their level. Better than most at that level. If we can run the ball against Clemson it will help the Pass Pro issues. IMO KP is a decent blocker as well, so that should help if they need him to stay in to assist.
