[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 681093, member: 265"] I've said it before, I'll say it again. We have plenty of talent on the OL, even without transfers. We didn't do well last year because: • We had a lot of nagging injuries that kept our scholarship OLs from developing any continuity. If you play together as a unit for multiple games, you get better. Once we got most everybody back and playing together, OL play improved. It'll improve next year. • We were in the first year of a new O and our OC couldn't seem to figure out what he wanted us to do. Musical chairs is good fun, but it won't help with consistency in offensive performance. This is the case all around, but especially in the OL. Game experience will help with this next year. • Our QB play wasn't consistent. People don't realize how much consistent QB performance (not great, just consistent) helps an OL. If your QB knows what he is doing and what you (i.e. the OL) can do, then everybody's job gets easier. So, in short, we were doing something new and it was hard for the team (and the fans) to figure out what it was. The transfers we have coming in will help next year, provided we get all of them. The frosh OLs [I]might[/I] get a chance as well, but I can only think of one who looks ready for it. [/QUOTE]
