[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 641280, member: 944"] All this game, and other recent games, have proven is that you won't win many football games if you are losing the battle in the trenches on both sides of the ball. UNC's OL outweighed our DL by over 40 pounds per man. You can overcome that with quickness and execution....sometimes. But they were able to road grade us when they needed to, and that wore us down. Our OL is simply a patchwork of (forgive me) not so talented guys right now. Too many injuries on that side of the ball, and too many guys who came here to be small quick O linemen for the 3O....which means they have trouble pass blocking some of the 300 lb DL that UNC puts on the field. I can't judge our LB's ([USER=29]@Ibeeballin[/USER] , looking for help here) but it seems clear to me we just are getting beat up front on both sides of the line. Football is still about blocking and tackling. I don't think our skill guys are all that bad, or below the standard of other teams, but we desperately need big uglies on both sides. We'll see what the next year brings..... ...in the meantime, we'll have a ton of losses, but as long as I see some improvement I'll keep watching and rootin' [/QUOTE]
