We've sucked up front all year. But today we sucked outloud. We leaked like a sieve in between the tackles and could not formulate any kind of pass protection. It was horrific. Maybe the worst I've ever seen. I wonder if PawPaw was asleep during practice. Help us Broderick Jones, your our only hope

Yeah, people are talking about play calling, but I don’t know many systems that work with poor OL play.

Malzahn’s run-first offense surely isn't going to work consistently without a good OL and RB. We really don’t have either of those right now.

The question is, can he get the personnel together soon?

Still tbd if it’s good news or not. Hopefully we steal Jones in this class and Hamm lives up to the hype.

We had 5 yards rushing at halftime. We had 54 total for the day.

You know what was worse than Out OL? Rod Gilmore calling football games. He’s worse than Beth Mowins.

Please mute the TV and listen to our radio guys instead. I haven’t listened to anyone other than our guys since I discovered TuneIn Radio. Time it to the TV broadcast and never worry about it again.

You’d think the situation would recruit itself. It’s a run-first system with immediate playing time as a real option.

Be honest, the OL wasn't as bad as we all thought they would be prior to the season. They grades out fairly well for the season.

Today, both lines on either side of the ball got their shite pushed in. That Minnie OL came to play and imposed their will on our best two best Dlinemen. That last 5 minsbofnthe game they ran itbstraingnup thebgutband we had no answer. Hell we had no answer for their rush attack all game. Not to mention we couldn't get our running ng game going.

Amazing how teams can put together good Olines with 2 and 3star guys and we can't get any push with our 4*s.

All about scheme

It has become increasingly more obvious over the years it has more to do with Gus' scheme than physical talent. You are asking kids to block guys who basically are running to the point of attack 60% of the time. Our OL wasn't the best but you could give those guys to more than half of the teams in college football and most coaches would get more out of them than Gus was able to find.

I bet when Fleck watched game film his eyes lit up when he realized what all the other SEC coaches already know about Gus.

We should not be scrambling to piece together personnel / Junior College / Portal transfers this far into Gus's tenure

Tega at #50 and Driscoll at #62. Going to need a miracle at OL next season.

Those are 2 2nd round grades. That's not bad actually.

Helpful for recruiting. Bottom line is that the OL has to work well together in order to be successful. Losing two 2nd round talents on the OL doesn’t mean much if the OL didn’t work very well in the first place.

Hopefully Bicknell and Morris have a better plan than Gus and Grimes did

Tackles weren't really our problem. Nix had pressure in his face from right up the middle all the time.
