You are flat out delusional. Our line is asked to do more than almost any other in the country. Running I formation and play action on almost 95% of pass plays. We arent running spread innovative offenses that take pressure off the lines. Our fans dont pay attention to any of that though, PFF does when they evaluate



First 3rd down against Bama, Malone gets worked and Etling sacked in a quick hurry. Had no time to throw.

Again, because of the tackles we've had to play, in no shape or form is this the best line in the country. You seriously cant sit here with a straight face and tell me KJ Malone and Maea Teheuma are good offensive tackles. Notice how neither one gets a mention in the ratings they talk about. The fact is we are weak at the tackle position which makes in no way this the best OL as a whole in the country. You're flat out delusional if you think Malone and Teheuma out at the tackle spots help make this the best OL in the country.

No this was a coaching/scheme issue. There is no way you allow Tim Williams who one of the elite pass rushers in the country, a one on one match in passing situation. Malone should have gotten help with a back or with a chip by a back or TE before releasing out for a pass. Also complete & half rollouts should have been used to buy Etling more time.

This isn't rocket science yet time & time again we see game plans against Alabama that are drawn up on stone tablets. Yes, the pistol & 3/4 WR sets are used but it is only used to cover up really simple play calling concepts that Bama & Saban easily sniff out. Our players especially the lineman are put in no position to succeed against the Tide.
