The work he has done with the OL is incredible. Georgia had 3, former 5 star recruits on the DL and Lock had all day to throw the ball. The OL was also winning in run blocking in the 4th quarter, if only we had a couple of bigger backs to pound the ball??.

To my eye, he has done the best job thus far. Now can Ford please go back to coaching the secondary? That to me has been the biggest drop off.

We have a true LT, and a really good one at that, which anchors and changes everything about an offensive line.

We did not have one last year.

That, and the new offensive scheme makes things different.

Elarbee is doing his job. He's barking at them in practice.

But he's not the reason for the success. Just like Ricker wasn't the reason for the failure.

What a fresh breath from Ricker and his scheme and the prior staff's refusal to play the best players and/or playing guys out of position.

LT wasn't the problem last year. Mizzou got destroyed right thru the A gaps repeatedly.
