Our OL sucks at run blocking . Anyone that has watched them play knows this .

Yep. Here are Football Outsiders national ranks for UF's OL in the run game. Doesn't bode well.

Florida
Line Yards 112th
Std. Downs Line Yards 79th
Pass Down Line Yards 119th
Opportunity Rate 113th
Power Success Rate 78th
Stuff Rate 113th


Run-blocking stats
Line Yards per Carry: For 2018, we are experimenting with a new definition for college line yardage based on film study and generalization. Instead of the ALY figure FO used for the NFL, this one is tighter: the line gets credit for rushing yardage between 0-3 yards (instead of 0-4) and 50% credit for yards 4-8 (instead of 5-10). Anything over 8 yards is quantified as a highlight opportunity, and credit goes to the runner. As with the pro definition, lost yardage still counts for 125%. (Garbage time is filtered out for all line yardage averages.)
Standard Downs Line Yards per Carry: The raw, unadjusted per-carry line yardage for a team on standard downs (first down, second-and-7 or fewer, third-and-4 or fewer, fourth-and-4 or fewer).
Passing Downs Line Yards per Carry: The same unadjusted averages for rushing on passing downs.
Opportunity Rate: The percentage of carries (when four yards are available) that gain at least four yards, i.e. the percentage of carries in which the line does its job, so to speak.
Power Success Rate: This is the same as on the pro side -- percentage of runs on third or fourth down, two yards or less to go, that achieved a first down or touchdown.
Stuff Rate: Same as STUFFED on the pro side -- percentage of carries by running backs that are stopped at or before the line of scrimmage.

Nobody is asking you to agree with it

His point was that it wasn’t taking into account the level of team you played against. My point was Oregon is as good of an opponent as Texas. Most everyone else hasn’t played a team good enough to get their OL.
