[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 186093, member: 944"] I agree completely, but I do think that while it is most noticeable on both lines, it is a broader problem. Another poster put it down to the WR's and (very rightly) pointed out that last year our WR's bailed us out again and again. So add that tot the recruiting deficit. And frankly, our running backs just are not special either (with the possible exception of Marcus Marshall). They don't slide to the holes or seams that are there but run into people where the hole is supposed to be generally. As far as the overall youth argument.....tell me what that data is for other teams. I haven't looked, but I seem to recall that FSU graduated 4 of their 5 starting O Linemen and Clemson lost a ton on defense from last year. I am just guessing that in fact we are not any younger than most college teams. If everything were balanced, you would expect 20% in each of the 5 categories (Sr+ R Sr, Jr + R JR, etc) BUT everybody experiences attrition, so this is NOT to be expected on ANY team. Our profile does not strike me as especially young. Further, as I have said elsewhere, freshmen playing may be more of a reflection of prior poor recruiting classes than outstanding recent ones.
