Offensive Line Disappointment

[RutgersSam]

Pretty sad if that's your motivation.

Well you apologists can't come up with a valid point other than GS needs 7 years, so this is what you end up with. Y'all reap what you sow

Ok. But in this age of quick takent turnarounds via the transfer portal, why hasn't Schiano been able to address the most important position on the team yet? What does that say about his abilities to assess our QB talent? Why did he go into this season thinking Gleason was a capable offensive coordinator?

And you think a 37 point loss to an absolutely average Minnesota team is a good place to be in year 3 for a coach you think is somehow special?

Maybe you don't pay close attention to the other teams in the conference. That's ok, many don't. In this era of quick portal turnarounds, Sparty suddenly won 11 games. Then KWIII went to the NFL and they're right back where they started. Well, not quite. They have a $9.8mm annual Tucker bill to pay.
On Minnesota, I beg to differ sir. They lost some games playing without Tanner Morgan and Mohamed Ibrahim. For the most part, they're the same team that went 9-3 last year.

Regarding the "position of greatest need," you don't specify which position is, in your mind, the one of greatest need. Frankly, the roster he inherited had more holes than a screen door. Linemen take longer to develop than any other position. This year with all the portal guys was a stopgap so the recruits could develop. Would have worked if not for injuries at QB And RB, but depth also takes time.
Regardless, any new coach deserves at least 4 years, so he's playing with all his own recruits. Schiano gets more leeway because he's succeeded here before.
Besides, you must not remember our last two coaching searches. In 2015, Babers wouldn't even take Pat's calls and went straight to Fruit U. Brohm said "No thanks, I'll stay at Western Kentucky until a real job opens up." Our alumni have a terrible reputation for being apathetic and unsupportive. Odds are better than even we would end up with a guy that had us losing 72-0 to Xichigan again.

No question O line is not good, first half tonight however the Michigan QB was under more pressure than Wimsett, The inconsistency overall is truly frustrating. What might have been without the turnovers against Nebraska and Iowa, I don’t think we beat Michigan tonight but it would have been interesting if we don’t gift them 14 pts early in the third Q

With better QB play and our current OL, we beat Neb and possibly Iowa. That’s at least 5-3 (2-3) right now and nobody would be complaining.

Yes the OL could definitely improve, but they’re good enough to earn us a Bowl bid if the QB play was even average.

OL not the problem are the national championship caliber no
Is it a bowl level OL yes
We suck at the QB position

OL is our nemesis. It seems every time our QBs (at least for the past 10 yrs) drop back to pass and before they can get set to deliver they are overwhelmed. Run blocking is not much better. Sadly until this changes expect to see more of the same.

#51 and #53 on the OL better not see the field next year. If so we are done.

O-lines take time to put together. Worse, we have one possession type receiver. And no tight ends.
And .....of course, a really raw quarterback. No wonder our offense is so damn weak.
Just glad Wimsatt came out of the game in good shape. He's got potential.
