O-Line

[I4CtheFuture]

I haven't read one single complaint about the O-Line this year. Not one. Stats back that up. They've gone from 120+ (really bad) the entire past 2 years to now #62 through 4 games. That is a massive improvement. - Never mind that our QB still can't complete a pass to save his life. He overthrew one last night that was picked up on FAA radar. But I digress. The numbers don't lie.

I'd like to see them get more push on 3rd and shorts though.

Agree but can we put them in pass coverage?

Yes. We have rightly grumbled about the OL for several years. Now we should acknowledge the improvement and usefulness. The current inability to score isn’t on them.

But did you notice how AL Oline handled our Dline. QB was camping out on those deep routes.

Look, I know we still suck, but there is a but there.....

It's AL OL dude. Without looking it up, I'd gamble that they have one of the top 10 OL talent / and depth in the country. Of course they neutralized our DL pass rush. - That just makes sense. It doesn't help that our DE's blow right by the QB wide almost every single time. They're getting a good rush but are taking the wrong angles IMHO. As soon as our 2 DE's blow right by the QB, that's 2 less defenders in front of the QB. All you gotta do is run at that point, and AL QB did. Several times.

We had over 200 yards against Bama on the road? Unheard of for us. O-Line, running game much better but like someone said after the game last night that isn’t translating into points like it should. I think we all have our opinions on that. Secondary has been awol, never expected that. Hopefully they can shore that up and Briles can work some magic. Not giving up yet as Oklahoma & A&M are more disappointing than we are and look beatable at this point.
