If AA is beaten to death like this in this game... against this competition...

He may not make it out alive.

Dude has been hit over and over. Pass Pro is terrible, or am I nuts?

Cmon CBB, get this straight... You are Known for great O lines... or were....

Awwww.... this might help a few of us feel better.

Got a few Olinemen in the game to get some experience.

Is this just bull, or is it true. Using it as a practice for those boys. Hmm

I don't buy it. to much smoke, not enough fire in the past.

I've been saying it all off season. This OL is going to get Austin killed again.

Same shite as last year.

Our OL is going to prevent us from reaching our true potential. Frustrating as hell.

We are looking at 6-8 wins with that crap again.

Did Bielema say this? I'm ok if the Clary experiment ends tomorrow and we go back to the lineup that's been in place since April.

Yeah on both side of the ball, said it was good to get some snaps for the 2s.

Yes, and being reported elsewhere. "Not to freak out, CBB used it as a scrimmage for some younger players and to get experience to others."

The oline was pretty crappy in pass protection, but Allen also has got to get the ball out quicker. I don't know if there was no separation from the WRs or what.

I did not get to watch. I will not get to until 4 am when I get off work.

My brother who's opinion I trust said that the blocking was not near as bad as some are making it out to be. He said Austin had time. Austin played poorly. He said there was open guys on some plays but Austin didn't see them. Other times, as I listened on the radio, chuck and Quinn said there is nobody open. Might as well call it a coverage sack.

My brother also said that to call out offense vanilla would be an understatement. He said we was fricking imitation vanilla. Said we ran the same plays and route concepts multiple times. Sometimes on the same drive. Never tried to throw down field at all.

I think the answer to why it looked bad is multi-faceted. Austin played poorly. The WR's were not getting open. We were running the same routes, not putting our wr in good positions to get open. Then you can go down to the o line started very poorly. There was some busts for sure. We started a freshman.

Add it all up and it makes sense. The good news he told me though is be backs were good in pass pro, and over all looked very good.

I'm concerned about 2 things. Starting over with the line gelling, and the WR's being this year's version of the D line hype. Also probably losing pulley for the season is devastating.

While the offensive line is a concern, Austin did play poorly, and his decision making and reads were off. However, I'm not losing sleep about it because he looked terrible against Louisiana Tech last year and then immediately got better the next week against TCU.

Exactly. I wasn't a fan of starting Clary after having a line solidified all throughout spring and fall. I didn't watch Clary close enough, however, since I was too busy watching Colton Jackson get worked. LT is a big concern.

This worried me just as much as the Oline. Maybe looking at film will disprove this. I know there were a few plays with players getting open and Allen just didn't see them, which is unusual.

And WTF is up with Brian Wallace. Wasn't he #1 rated tackle in Missouri?
