That’s kinda where the game was won.”

Brian Kelly knows what he’s doing. That’s why we have our biggest O line class (and growing) that I can remember.

A good O-line can give a bad QB enough time to make something happen.

A bad O-line can make a great QB mediocre.

And a great QB can make an average OLine look elite. And get Ed Orgeron a $17M buyout.

So what’s your outlook with Walker Howard coming in along with a really good OLine? Looks pretty damn good to me.

Protect average QB's and you win NC's with LSU type talent.

Dude, Burrow won our bad O line the O line of the year award. What you should’ve said is that a great QB can make a shite Online look good.

And that’s why he’s such a better hire than Riley, who is all finesse and apathetic about defense. Kelly understands that you can do what you want when you control the LOS.

To be fair, we essentially had this OL class locked up before Kelly got here.

This has always been what it took to beat Bama. Cincy got overpowered and same thing happening to Michigan.

What games did you watch? Burrow got it out quick and yes, scrambled like a mad man many games due to the leaky line. Dipshit, that line was the exact same the following year and was exposed for the garbage that it was.

Championships are always won in the trenches. OL and DL are where everything is won. Our last 2 coaches have forgot this. Get them back to the level where Bama is at we right there for the Championships again

Also add Ken Dorsey and Matt Leonhardt. Good lines equals winning games. Looks like CBK is doing all he can to make massive athletic lines. I know everyone is mad when a coach isn't retained but this program needs a ctrl-alt-delete. It will pay off and it is looking that the players are staying to buy in.

I was going to say Matt Flynn, but then I remember what he did with his first official start.
