OL is definitely not fixed. People were getting blown up in pass pro. Much better job of run blocking tonight, though.

We are slowly getting better. They are awful against the run but we are definitely showing signs of improving.

What is better for sure is our backs helping in pass pro. The offensive line still sucks in pass pro, but austin is good at feeling pressure and is tough as 8 year old jerky.

I wish our bye was this week because this was a great game to build confidence, get healthy and work out the kinks. Auburn has a good D line, but I think we can still win.

Little baby steps and we will be where we want by the end of the year.

I was happiest about our defensive line showing up for a change.

I think they've improved every game.

Froholdt is going to be All SEC before he's done.

Wallace starting to live up to the high school hype.

Aubarn will be a big test.

They've already faced the best dlines on the schedule, just a steady decline in competition from here.

Auburn gets too much credit for losing close to Clemson and hanging with Aggies at Jordan Hare. Won't be anywhere near as challenging as Bama or Aggies.

what sucks is it takes time for an oline to gel. so they'll be gelling right as the easiest part of our schedule hits smh

No.

But it's obvious getting it fixed has been at the top of the menu. They looked a bit better, and I think the staff is planning away from the O-line weaknesses. It didn't hurt that Ragnow was there the entire week as opposed to last.

Whaley made some key blocks, Cantrell is a fricking beast.

Still a few problems, Allbarn will be another test.




Swag 0-2 against the Hogs!

Really thought Swag would be keyed up for the game after he bravely dared to take all comers in that high school football game dust up.

I didn't see any high schooler wanting a piece of him.

What a stud. Lucky to win.

It's not fixed, the competition is getting weaker. People freaked out after facing 2 of the top 5 D lines in the country

It's not fixed Froholdt and Raulerson are both god awful in pass pro...Guys were running free up the middle all night...they just weren't Alabama LBs and Lineman so Allen didn't get destroyed...

This.

Pass pro was meh to borderline bad tonight, and Austin did a fantastic job of moving around, escaping pressure and/or throwing on the run.

Run blocking, on the other hand, was tremendous. For all his faults in pass pro, Froholdt had some really good blocks for Rawleigh and Whaley.

Wish we could throw a PA pass. For whatever reason, that has fallen apart.

I specifically watched Froholdt a lot tonight...his 2 major problems are confusion on blitzes and his balance and agility are really bad...he was off balance multiple times and almost fell down a couple times while blocking...he's a straight ahead run blocking tank, but other than that he's really....really bad.


Raulerson just seems physically weak and still confused playing in this offense

Wallace looked pretty good tonight, all is not lost with him afterall. Showed tons of potential tonight to build on.
