We take so much pride in whipping arse on the wide open offensive teams and the defenses built to stop them but 90% of the posts are focused on the skill positions.

If we want to win we have to get better on the offensive line because we need to play this style of football. Yeah, our qb needs to throw accurately but scheme-wise our plan stunk. This offensive line will get taken behind the wood shed when they play an SEC defense.

Miles and company will still be "developing" the qb's. The problem will remain

I agree that our line was bad and needs to improve. But they are playing guys that know what's coming every play.

Imagine how much easier tests would be with the answer key

It doesn't matter how good your line is when teams aren't forced to defend the entire width of the field. Running 1 or 2 wr's in routes for pass plays will never work. The other team always having one more man than we can block, makes it nearly impossible to have success against teams as big and as strong as you. We completely throw away our athleticism advantage when we play this bunched up offense.

We don't really use skill players on offense though.. so how would we know.

but of course the line is most important.

Ole Miss under Brewer and TT always had good skill guys but never the linemen and LBS to compete. Great linemen can make average skill guys look good

All football games are won in the trenches. It's the line of scrimmage that makes the difference.

O-line is weak this year. Pocic and Clapp have not fully recovered from surgery.
