As a % of total recruits signed, Bama signs more Line of Scrimmage players than UGA. The average star rating, based on 247, Bama also won. The margin was small, but an extra player here, and extra star there, over the course of several classes, you are going to field a better offensive line.

A big part of this is that Bama has signed more players in general. That allows them to use a higher proportion of their scholarship on the offensive line without leaving other positions short-handed. Our OL roster spots are basically the same as all of our peers, but a few of our guys likely would have been processed at other places, allowing for more to be signed.

Their star ratings are just higher than everyone across the board.

So we can't have an O-line as good as Bama's because we don't cheat?

Wrong.

I calculated it as a percentage of total players signed. Whether they signed 15 or 45 in a class, the numbers I put together were as a percentage of players taken.
