The LF7 hype video and threads about it got me really excited. Just thinking about fournette backed up by guice, and dupre, Duran and company out wide. So many weapons. Obviously, Harris is a question mark, but I think he will be up to the task of at least being average.

What do people expect from the line this year? I would think really good, but I thought the same last year and was really dissapointed in their play in November. if they are one of the top units in the sec, wow this could be a special year

Don't forget about Duran's brother, Duran! They will have this offense hungry like the wolf!

Hopefully they don't get thrown around like rag dolls again in November.

some changes on the line. two for sure.

therefore not ready for prime time for game 1 or 2 or 3.
should be good enough to get by Wisconsin, which also have had losses to graduation.

hopefully by Florida game they are in sync and the backups have been tested too and the rotation is set and prepared. Florida D is the real deal.
Win that one and visions of playoff spot dance in our heads.

Improved pass protection wouldn't hurt.

I think their run blocking was very good last year. it's hard for me to blame them for the problems against bama DL and also against ole miss. against arky, they were beat up all to hell.

their pass blocked was inferior. they stunk up the joint and that killed us at bama as bama just dominated our line of scrimmage.

if we don't get some guys that can pass block we are going to lose at least 3 games again this year. Harris needs some time.

The OL is the biggest piece of the equation. Much bigger than QB and even the defense.

Expect domination and hoping this big fella can work himself into the rotation and represent "Toula"

My expectations are: no ridiculous false starts/holding penalties... Would LOVE to see some pass blocking, but execution would be nice to see first

Run game? High
Pass game? Low. They were pushed around in pass protection last year by every team we played and I haven't seen anything to show that we got better in that regard.

Well, considering they haven't played a game yet, how could they show improvement?

Concerned about pass blocking until proven wrong

I am a little concerned about the line especially with the way last season ended. Really got pushed around against Bama and after.

Should be dominant but I'd settle for above average.

To fight like hell from the first time they take the field to the last game at the back end of the season.
