The poor OL play given all that talent is another curious situation.... not all players buy into a new coach and scheme, but there aren't many good excuses for being that bad up front on offense.
It wasn't that the OL didn't buy in...they weren't physically matched for the style of play. Butch wants to go to a HUNH with zone blocking. The OL was very big and slow last year. Tiny Richardson is evidence of this. He wasn't drafted because of his health/mobility concerns.
That being said, UT wasn't "that bad up front". They faced a lot of tough defenses, and still averaged 188 yards per game. They only averaged 165 yards passing per game, but that wasn't because of the OL. UT gave up 15 sacks last season. Not as good as 2012's total of 8, but they were breaking in a new system.
