But proper depth ensures that there is a guy waiting in the wings that is already able to play.

There is a reason why that is not easy

I know, easier said than done, but this is why we are in trouble now.

OL is the toughest position to evaluate for making the transition for high school to college.
An OL could get be successful due to sheer size and/or athleticism. They often play against badly over-matched defensive lines and don't have to work on techniques, footwork and agility.

So unless if someone manages to capture lady luck and ensure a 2 deep line it is one of the main causes for offenses failing once every few years.

You need to look no further than USC - decimated by injuries/scholarships , the first string is excellent but the backups don't have enough experience/abilities.

Give the average OLs a couple of years experience and they can more than supplement the line with just one or two great players.

Unfortunately for LSU - the anchor Faulk got hurt and screwed up the cycle.
