It does when you're talking about an OL and continuity. It causes issues with blocking assignments.
I get what you’re saying but with our Oline talent and depth compared to most schools we shouldn’t be having any issues. Every team has injuries but most don’t have the talent and depth we do. Lack of motivation and bad play calling is why we lost not injuries.

Why are Bama and Clemson receivers able to dominate as true freshmen but ours need at least a year to make a difference?
Other teams are playing our "tendencies" when it comes to our passing game. When we throw more then 10 yards downfield it is usually a sideline oriented route. We don't attack the middle of the field for some reason. I guess between Fromm/Coley/Smart they only want to make the "safe" throws.
Teams with two good corners will give us trouble. They play our tendency to make sideline throws. Easier to cover when all you have to guard is a smaller area of the field. Harder for our receivers to get open. Everything will be contested.
Jordan Rogers posted a stat on Twitter that Fromm only had a 30% completion percentage versus man to man coverage against USCe. You beat man to man by running routes to the open area with "green grass". Pretty sure in our case the open area is the middle of the field. Except we don't go there.
Bama/LSU/Clemson receivers are getting open because they make opposing defenses cover the whole field. Loved watching Notre Dame/Ian Book constantly hitting their tight end Smet against us over the middle of the field for explosive plays. Ditto with Alabama. Their guys are always open with slants and crossers over the middle(I realize they are really good). They make the opposing secondary cover the whole field.
We need to break "tendency" on offense. The Florida game will tell us if Coley/Smart will make some changes. They have two really good corners and will be able to shut down certain areas. Fromm/Coley/Smart need to tweak the offense if we are going to win that game.

"There's a huge difference between the WRs that Bama and LSU have and what we have."
I can agree with that quote in terms of Alabama, however just last year we were hearing the same thing from LSU fans in regards to Joe Borrow and the LSU receiving corps. Joe had 17 td passes . ITs scheme and play calling.Look @ what Eric Zier said.LSU changes their scheme in just year one of Joe Brady their offense is unstoppable and their receivers are open and joe Borrow looks like a world beater one year removed from a 17td pass campaign

Then you don't understand how the OL works. There are way more moving parts than any other position on the field. You could plug 5 pro OL together and they'll struggle for a bit until they gel. Now you're talking about continuously rotating in 10 plus different combinations on the OL and it takes it's toll.

Ok so you don’t think Bama, LSU, and Ohio State ever get injured along the offensive line?
That is not a good enough excuse to lose to an unranked team.
Not saying it wouldn’t hurt at all but if the oline play is that fragile then we’d see top 5 teams losing to shite teams all the time.
Georgia isn’t the only team that gets injured along the offensive line.

To the point that they rotated in 6 different guards? Nope, I've watched football for over 30 years and I have never seen any other team have the injuries we had on Saturday. You usually lose 1-2 but not 6.

You keep bringing this up but I never said this, at all.

They'd definitely struggle every damn time. And stop underestimating USC's DL. They aren't great but they are pretty dang good.

Nope, but no one else is losing 6 in a game and using 10 plus combinations.

What 6 did we lose to injury?

Ah damnit, I read it wrong. Still doesn't change my points.

Smart added that Ben Cleveland is also battling injuries. That all explains why Georgia played three guys at left guard and three guys at right guard on Saturday. And that kind of turnover makes things difficult for the group.

That's not an excuse to get whipped up front man to man by fricking South Carolina. It isn't like that was Alabama, LSU, or Clemson. That was a middle of the road team with middle of the road talent. If our guys are as good as they're supposed to be, they should be able to blow South Carolina's defensive line off the ball on almost every play.

I think it’s pretty clear now that for whatever reason we weren’t ready or motivated to play last Sat. From all the people in the stands saying the team was flat to Smart and Swift basically saying this was the case.
I fricking hate it because you don’t get a second chance at those games...but let’s just hope that it was a fluke and doesn’t happen again as we have some big damn games coming up and could still push through if we step up and make it to ATL.

Maybe it’s a good thing. Now there’s no room for error so Georgia doesn’t have the option to play flat.

I’d love to see a repeat of the 2007 season. We basically had no business losing at home to SC bit by the end of the season we were the hottest team in college football. Really think we would have made the playoffs that year if they’d had them.
