[QUOTE="Jacketman99, post: 752490, member: 5163"] Comparing the GT transition to Nebraska is totally useless. Nebraska was using NFL size linemen with completely different blocking schemes that were more easily transferable to a more pro style scheme. GT had undersized lineman that were mostly used to cutting. The pass blocking was terrible the entire time CPJ was here. Add in the fact that our best lineman transferred and 2 others had season ending injuries forcing us to play walkons for significant portions of the season. CBC has talked about how he spent a good portion of the first spring just teaching basic fundamentals. We are even talking about simple things like stance and weight distribution. On top of that you have to have a cohesive oline which requires the right combination of players with many snaps together. That did not happen last year. Fast forward one year and we have a much bigger oline that has more experience. We added in an experienced transfer and a talented true freshman. The fact that these two are starting let's you know where our talent level was. If Cochran had enrolled we would have had 3 new starters who were not with the program last year. However, we have greatly improved from last year in almost every way on the oline. Kudos to the players for working hard and the coaches for coaching them up. [/QUOTE]
