Ummm.... for everyone bitching about the OL talent, please explain to me how you have:

A 4 year starter (Black) that was a 1st round pick pre-season.
A 3 year starter (Hitt) that was pretty good the previous two years.
A 2nd year starter (Barksdale) who is a near 5 star talent expected to be an OL.

You have two new guys that have struggled, but when the other guys came in to replace those, the OL does better and dominated at times.

OL is not bad. We've just done an utterly shitty job of putting the right players in the game and playing undersized and mispositioned young guys.

i doubt that Black goes in the first round. Hitt may be fiesty but he is not that talented. Barksdale may have been a 5 star recruit but if recruiting services could see into the future he would have been a low to middling 4 star.

This. Blackwell and Lonergan should have been starting at left guard and center.
