I was just about to post this in a new topic.
Ive re-watched last years game twice and concentrated on our o-line play.
Surprisingly was how well Cotton played head up on wilks from the RG position.
Also Ross Pierschbacher did a very good job on Lawrence.
Womack was very good on # 7 in run block but naturally had his hands full in pass protecting.
Johna had his moments with 99, pass blocking wise, but was good on the run.
You would think pulling your guards would not be wise against Clemson based on there D-line ability.
But we were not hesitant in doing so and were effective.

We did not throw for good yardage in this game but that was mainly on jalen for the most part.
D.harris was most effective slashing thru lanes than BO Scar was with power.
This years o-line is much better and cotton wont have Lawrence in front of him.
This years O-line should do better with the running depth of D.harris, jacob, N.Harris rather,
than the power of Bo Scar in relief of D.harris combined with Tua/WR core.
We are gonna be the balance team we have been all year and I think the o-line is up for then task.
Because we are a better o-line than last year and battle tested because of games against a Miss state, Texas A&M ,and Uga.

Quick passes. RPO slants. Swing passes to RBs. This should loosen them up.

Start sprinkling in more runs after they get a little confused and/or frustrated. Hopefully the safeties have to start getting in the box and we start hitting them over the top.

This is the game that a great QB can mask your OL. We were getting through on Oklahoma in the second half quite often but Murray was too quick to get the ball out or just simply run away.

To put it simply, the game plan must be built around getting the ball out as fast as possible. Our skill players are great. They need the ball in their hands.
