We lost Pocic, Boutte and Maea from the starting 5. Two returners and one of them is learning the critical QB of the line at center.


This is not the whole story in '16. I think Toby beat out Teuhema at RT until Toby was hurt in like game 3 or so. Teuhema replaced Boutte at RG until Toby was hurt.

KJ was the weak link on last year's unit.


KJ was playing well through the end of last season. He was no longer a "weak link."

He will be going through police training this time next year and not playing in the league, enough said

Similar could be said about State's OL and Troy's OL.

As long as there are those who think depth, talent, experience, Canada, Aranda, etc are the source of our football woes the real sOurce Of it can find cOver.

I think the problem last year was that our offensive line had better stats than they showed because of LF7. He could make a bad line look good. I don't think that fact can be dismissed. Even with a tackle like Malone.

Regardless, Maea started 9 games at RT and he only replaced Boutte in Gm 2 because he was suspended. Maea was a critical piece of our OL last year and is one of the biggest reasons why our line is suffering this year. That's the biggest difference between last season and this one, we don't have any experienced lineman that could be inserted like we had when we had suspension/injury...or in this case a last minute transfer.
