10 LSU 60
11 Texas A&M 48
12 Georgia 45
13 Vanderbilt 41
14 Mississippi State 30
I am not a huge believer in this being a big indicator (i.e. 105 means you'll be better than 75), but I do tend to worry about teams with very little returning o-line experience.

Funny how a lot of Auburn fans think the OL is an area of concern

Auburn fans will also be cheered to know that UAB, which hasn't had a football team in years, returns only the 3rd lowest number of experience in OL starts.

The good news is: we return everyone.
The bad news is: we return everyone.

The concern comes from all the switch up along the line. Not sure anybody will keep the exact same position they played last year.

Every projected starter in Bama's OL this year will be drafted. A couple of 1st rounders

Yeah I would like to feel good about this stat but really all it says is we return a lot of guys that made up the worst OL in the league last year.
Posted on 6/13/17 at 4:31 pm to volfan30
Ugh another year, another average OL

I worry about a lot of shite when it comes to A&M football

Until proven otherwise I expect our offensive line to be solid but not great. Pretty much the norm since the all-star cast of 2012 left, no matter who we throw in there.

You shouldn't be (and it's ironic you mention 105.)
In 2012 Phil Steele listed two teams with more returning starters on the offensive line than Tennessee (with 105.) The result? One SEC win against a two win Kentucky team to close out a 5-7 season.

That 2012 Tennessee offensive line was underachieving but good, though. They had an all-time terrible defense.
LT - Antonio Richardson (Undrafted, health)
LG - Dallas Thomas (3rd round, 26 NFL starts in 4 seasons)
C - James Stone (Undrafted, 10 NFL starts in 4 seasons)
RG - Zach Fulton (6th round, 38 NFL starts in 3 seasons)
RT - Ja'Wuan James (1st round, 39 NFL starts in 3 seasons)

What are OL positions?
TE count?
Or just the down five?
Also, one senior player that started the last three years could have nearly 40 starts by himself.
Not a bad offseason thread matrix however

You're saying they were good based on the NFL production. We're talking college here, brah.
That season they were the third best rushing team in the state of Tennessee--behind Vandy and MTSU.

It was one of the best scoring offenses in UT history. Wasnt their fault the Defense was swiss cheese

Very good in pass pro though. That 2012 o-line was very solid.
