Overrated stat imo.
This time last year you Vololol fans couldn't shut up about how great Tennessee's oline was gonna be. Who is y'all's oline coach and how long has he been on staff?

Well....this is A&M's defense we're talking about.

Returning starts are important if the are productive starts. Otherwise, most OLs improve as the season progresses if they are good and being coached-up.

I may be biased, but Auburn and SCAR return some highly productive OLinemen ... SCAR's in particular have probably 150+ wins under their collective belts.

Tennessee's line last year, was overrated but pretty much everyone knew that going-in, did we not?

I'll be surprised if SCAR's OLine is not dominant this season. We've got experience, talent, depth and most importantly IMHO the right coach. Shaun Elliott may be one of the better OLine coaches in the country.

Should see good OLine play on both sides. But that game is going to be about who smashes the other's DLine in the mouth the hardest. If A&M tries to win that game through the air, SCAR will pin their ears back and come after your new QB - who is going to have a tough time with the crowd noise anyway. Sumlin's too smart to gamble like that with a new QB. He's going to try to take advantage of our youngish DLine by running the ball. If that doesn't work A&M is going to be in for a long night.

There will be sacks.

Completely agree. There will be sacks.

If Myles Garrett doesn't have at least 1, it would probably be considered a disappointment for his debut. By all accounts he has been getting plenty if pressure going against our #1's, and frankly I think our LT is better than y'all's LT.

The run should be there, the pass will be too tho. Have you been able to watch any film on young Allen? I'll post some if you would like, dudes got such a quick release that I really think the short-intermediate passing game will be there as long as timing is there as well.

I think Hill gets the start, but I really like our chances in this game. It will probably be a shoot out, and Sumlin is pretty good at those, especially on the road.

Can't wait! Good luck and hope no more players on either side get hurt or kicked off for stupid crap between now and then!

We had the second most in the country last year, and it didn't do us any good!

And, isn't Alabama projecting to start a true freshman at LT? What's his name? The kid from Louisiana who is kind of a head case? Seriously. For the life of me I can't remember his name.

Starting a true freshman at LT in the SEC is not going to be pretty and I don't care how good he is.
