Anyone know how many o linemen we usually play in a game? I should know but don't.

It could have a huge impact or not impact at all.

I'll say this with solid oline play this is a top 10 team. With MT gone and if tje injury bug gets the oline we may be lucky to stay in top 20. Doesn't matter how good we are at skill positions and D. Bad oline play and we're in trouble any year

I really thought we would contend for a championship this year but that's really hard to believe now with our Ol being depleted it's one of the most important positions on the football team if any of our starters go down it's going to get real ugly

Losses to Alabama and maybe Auburn, Florida, and one of State, Arky, or UT. Not going to overlook BYU either. I predict 8-4 just because we don't have the depth on oline and really not dline either.

I rarely post and it's usually negative, but just looking at it on paper I won't concede a loss to either Florida or Auburn. They have just as many question marks as we do. I see us being favored in the Auburn game and away @ FL is a coin flip at this point. The gators have a lot of defensive holes to fill.

I really want to see how this offense performs, but Bama is the only loss I will concede at this point.

Saying we'll go 8-4 at this point with this much talent is really way overestimating the field in my opinion. After all we are the 2nd highest ranked SEC team in the Coaches Poll. Means nothing, but I'll take the positive outlook from a more objective source over doom and gloom.

LOT, LG, C, RG, ROT.

That's 5. That's typical, you don't typically sub guys unless there is some kind of injury.

We have mounds of depth for our DL idk what you're talking about. Most depth we've had since 2012. Actually probably more equal to 2011 with Brockers.

Hopefully Canada can get the guys to score more against Alabama than O managed at home last season.

I see eleven wins total and top 10 ranking.

We fired a coach who averaged ten wins a season for eleven years. If Alleva couldn't give us someone with at lease that and better, he needs to be out the door and quick!

I see 10 wins through my P&G glasses. Admittedly this has us beating Bama in tuscaloosa. Realistically though 9 wins should be very attainable as long as we beat who we should.
There is no reason we shouldnt be 5-0 going into florida then we just have to go 4-3 and thats 9 wins. Looking at the schedule 8 wins would be a huge letdown barring any catastrophic injuries.

10-2 or 11-1. Lose to Bama. Florida is a toss up in the swamp.

Last year we had injuries on the O- Line and only 6 guys started a game and 1 more played significant snaps. You don't rotate Oline like DLine, they play pretty every snap unless they are hurt or it's a blowout

Not really, Magee can play every position but center and cushenberry can play both guards and center so that's 2 good backups. In 2012 we had a 1 legged LT and went
