Have to be able to establish the run. It's a must when you have a young Qb. You can't put a freshman out there and rely on him. Marshall has to catch those first two passes.

Mind boggling. No CEH this year but you have what most considered to be 3 capable RB’s this year. Is the O line really that bad?

O-line not physical enough and the same two running plays over and over.

Center doesn't get a lot of push

Recruiting has to be looked at if you O line is this bad. They don't open up holes. A young Qb is gonna hold on to the ball to long but they have to open holes to establish the run. Is it coaching or talent?

I’ve defended Ensminger for 2 1/2 seasons now but I’m starting to think he just does not know how to run the ball out of the shotgun. I can’t think of any other explanation. Offensive lines with a lot less talent than ours managed to run the ball on Auburn.

Hell we destroyed USCe offensive line and they ran the ball on Auburn. It’s baffling.

Our OL is terrible, especially today. We got dominated up front

There was very little room to run today and Auburn's D knew our run plays before the RB even got the ball. TDP had 3 carries for 0 yards. Our RBs did not seem to shed any tacklers today either. Just a bad day for the running game (which was really good last week along with the blocking).

Also, Emery is a good back, but so far, he has not been the long-run threat he was said to be. His long for the year is 17 yards.

He knew how to run the ball pretty well last season and before you say Brady was the one who was calling the plays, we run the same running plays this year that we did last year. The difference is the OL play. Last year we had great OL play and this year we have terrible OL play

Because we have a fricking Harvard recruit at center. I remember the last time we had one at QB.

Explain why South Carolina had 153 rushing yards and we had 32 then. Our offensive line sure as shite looked better than theirs last week.

O line gets pushed around and can't open lanes for the running backs.

Anytime Chris Curry is in the game, you can guarantee the run game is going to be non existent.

Center is not really a position you think you are gonna be losing a guy to the nfl a year early

We don't have last year's personnel, so you have to change things up and get more creative to have success. Ensminger is not creative.

Liam's got a heck of a back pedal, might have a future as a DB with them moves

It happened and your Lsu shouldn't it be next man up? Shouldn't that be how you recruit?

no sir. You can’t take a kid right out of HS And put him starting in the SEC. IT happens, but is very rare, should not be expected for sure.
