Prince is the highest rated offensive lineman we’ve had in a few years.
This group has experience. My question is with CamBo’s mobility could this group provide enough push in the run game and keep things clean for to lead us to the playoff?

I can’t wait to see what they can do with all of our 1st down runs up the middle.

This last week has done a lot of this pages emotions.
I beg you all. Please for the love of God. Have one small drink tonight. Just a small one and tap the brakes a little. Please baw. Just slow down till your 8mph over the speed limit

Man I hope you guys are right but I have no idea where this pie in the sky offensive line hype is coming from. Our offensive line is the main reason we sucked last year.

I’d settle for just good right now.... then go from there.

We had a good Grimes coaching the Oline then, that could actually bring in talent. So no

At this point, I'd almost pay money to see Joey roll out there as the starter just for the melts.

I am very optimistic about the offense this year, and a large part of that revolves around the entire offensive line returning and hopefully, improving greatly from last year. But the piece that makes a Gus Malzahn offense really click, is the running game.
I believe the consensus is that the oline improved during the course of last year, and was much better at the end of the year last year. But the rushing numbers were awful down the stretch for us last year. If you throw out the Liberty game and just look at the month of November and the bowl game, Auburn rushed 136 times for 460 yards (3.38 yard per attempt) in the last 4 games last year. Only rushed for 200 yards against Purdue, and most of those were from Willis/Gatewood in garbage time.
I know Whitlow was banged up at the end of last year, and these stats are against some of the best rush defenses in the country last year, but I'm not sure our offensive line was opening up a lot of holes in the running game at the end of the year. I like our running back talent/options this year, but I think it is still tbd how good this line is in the running game, and that will have a huge impact on our offense this year.

It's not unrealistic to expect SOME improvement on the offensive line since last year. They SHOULD at least be an adequate SEC line. 2010 level? Nah.
