I had to primarily listen to the game (I recommend the game day app) and so have not yet gotten to watch the game in detail. However, since there is not yet a thread to stimulate and house discussion of this year's offensive line I am starting one.
My first comment is that while I like having Sean Bedford on analysis he has not fully taken up one thing that Roddy did which I loved him for; namely, specifying the play call and even describing the blocking scheme and technique used. I think Roddy injected those facts more readily than Bedford did in his first game on air. Kind of odd in the sense that Sean is the former OLineman. I expect him to develop that habit as he goes along. He was great mind you, that is just a possible area of improvement towards perfection.
Shout out to @flea77 for correctly predicting that his son Will was going to prove too "impatient" to take a redshirt. Instead, he clearly busted his backside and developed his talent to the point that he saw the field early and often. (Honestly, given how early he committed it kind of feels like he is a redshirt sophomore at this point to me. I had to remind myself to be impressed he was in the game, his first possible).
The same goes for @Coachbraun72. We would love to hear both you and Flea's thoughts on how the offensive line looked the first time out there. Especially as pretty much everyone got to see some snaps.
Ok, as you can see I don't have a lot of insight to offer, this is basically a plea for others to show up and discuss the backbone of the offense.

When I saw them come in the game I made sure to keep a close eye and was impressed with both. You could definitely see the mean streak in Will that wee all saw in his HS video and Klock just jumped out me with very solid technique!
