That’s something I’m not sure I’ve seen before . This isn’t what I see us as , just wanted this board’s opinion

Can anyone think of an example? Maybe in the past we could come across that way but it was because the qb play was so bad that it made our skill guys appear to be average somewhat. Still had a good back always though

I got to thinking about how good we could be if our o line ends up being exceptional , that’s the difference between being 7-5 and 10-2

Great O-line is like rising tide floating all boats.

If a choice, great O-line and avg skill players beats avg O-line and great skill players

They modernized their offense in 2014 when they hired Kiffin

How much of that is attributed to the oline? Jonathan Taylor is the only RB I can think of that has been as successful in the NFL as College.

Melvin Gordon has never really been a true star, but he has over 6,000 career yards and over 50 touchdowns.

Guess the closest SEC comp would be Kentucky.

How old are you???

Adrian Peterson? Emmitt Smith? Eric Dickerson? Marcus Allen? OJ?

You want a white guy? John Riggins? Larry Csonka?
