Except for Wynn and underclassmen, none of our highly talented players are on the OL.

This is true, and I agree that to win big you have to be strong along both LOS. However, we should be improved across the OL this year. If we are not, that is on the coaches. We have three players returning that got tons of playing time, and another that was one of the top Junior College players along with some really good young players.

I understand some on here will argue that the players were playing in different positions, but that was a decision the coaches made. And, supposedly they will be in their more natural positions this year, so that should be an improvement. Add to that, that the two teams that could possibly give us a hard time this year also have OL problems. Those were weaknesses for both Florida and Tennessee last year, and should not be much of an improvement for them in 2017.
