imho. They got little to no movement early on and had many blown assignments. This year will go as the O line goes. I think AJ looked much better by the end of the game.

Also, lack of a credible pass rush is another serious problem.

Both lines need serious help, then its LB'ers..

Main concern? Not so sure. Center first start. New players at QB and skill positions.

Main concern is DT depth.

Main concern? No.

DT is the main concern and it's not even close.

I think it's obvious. The O line sucked it to me is a huge concern going into SEC play.

I doubt Tanner McEvoy agrees with this statement, especially given his experience in the 2nd half. He took a couple of good shots.

I'll go wih the pass rush as biggest concern. Oline fixed some things in the 2nd half. But Dline just seemed fortunate McEvoy sucks so bad.

Every year we hear how it's the best oline in the sec. We couldn't even get holes on a new Wisconsin front seven

Agree, the O line will gel and be more than capable.

The DT's will need to step up and we've got to build some depth. It's a long season and we need at least 4 capable DT's

No we don't. This offseason we did, and rightfully so.

Did you watch the second half?

It's the first game under a new coach w/ new QBs at the helm. They started rough and found their groove in the second half. The talent is there. They will gel and will be a strength.

I agree that the D line was MIA. They need some playmakers. Must have a pass rush.

I agree but since we only had three DT playing this may be fixed soon.

For the most part his punts were very good. Just had one bad shank.

1st)The O-line will be fine, was pretty encouraged that they made adjustments thought that was a good sign! 2nd) I really do think we should play a 3-4 on d the last 2 years we have played our best d when playing in Chavis's version on the 3-4.

Porter will make the line a lot better when he returns. Pocic is no Center. He's a tackle. He was pushed back into the backfield a ton Sat night.

I'll give him a pass on one since the officials didn't know how to line it up and spot it. But he had another bad one. Good for at least one a game.

42.9 gross average. He boomed some. His punts inside the 20 were really good. Find consistency.
