Freshmen grew up


Lol. Freshman grew up in a month? Learned how to play football in a month? Maybe they corrected some things that already should have been corrected after spring ball

So the talent gap is a myth right?

Learned how to play beside each other in a month maybe. It takes time for an oline to gel together and play as one unit. That didn't happen at the beginning of the year. Alot of that is repetitions and experience. Not sure what is so hard to understand about that.

no not at all. But we are closing the Gap next year with Lawrence and Alexander returning and Shelvin and Polomalo coming in bringing some much needed beef to the D line.

The O line should be much better with true freshman Ingram, Charles, and Deculous having a year experience under their belts.

But we don't have guys like Williams and Piersbacker on our o line.

They have 1st and 2nd round talent on their O line while we have late round and UDFA level talent on ours for the most part but that could be changing in the better for us soon.

Yes. 4 games of live action, film study, and coaching up mistakes is a helluva lot of experience.

Would you not say they've improved? How TF did that happen?

Yes, a month in the SEC can work tremendously with a Freshman, learned to play football? No... learned what it takes to play SEC football compared the high school they played last year? Yes. This was a desperate attempt to say it was bad coaching but i think its tbe opposite, we have a staff that in a month got some freshman to hold their own against bama. So again yes they learned how to play SEC football in a month and thats pretty remarkable.

The line stopped shuffling. After Troy the OL has been the same.

Malone went out early vs fla and every since then Charles has been at LT.

He's a better LT than he was a guard. He's also still learning the position.

Of course he's gotten better, he has right in front of our eyes.

Are you blind or watching the game any?

How can you say he hasn't gotten better since the byu game?
