[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 681105, member: 4572"] 15 of the teams ranked in the bottom 30 in offensive line play also finished in the bottom 30 in total offense. 22 of the bottom 30 in OLine play finished in the bottom half of the country in total offense. Only 4 of the bottom 30 OLine teams finished in the top 50 of total offense, with the highest being Ole Miss at #26. On the other side, 10 of the top 30 OLines finished in the top 30 of total offense. 15 of the top 30 lines were top 50 offenses. Only 2 of the top 30 OLines were in the bottom 30 in total offense. So, in conclusion, while not perfect, looking at how well an offensive line plays gives a great barometer for how successful an offense will be. Bad offensive lines give an offense very little opportunity to be successful. While good OLines provide better opportunities, but they can’t throw, run, and catch the ball themselves. I’m not sure what you expect when a team is littered with injuries to the limited experience it has. I agree with [USER=265]@takethepoints[/USER] in that there was talent on the OLine last year, but I think saying “plenty” of talent is stretching it some. The older and more talented guys were hardly ever on the field together, and there was no chemistry built up between the new guys throughout the year due to the shuffling around. A young and inexperienced offense playing behind 3 walk-ons on the line is a recipe for a disastrous offensive year, and that’s what we saw. The offensive line will have the most noticeable improvement next year, and if the staff lands Cochran as a transfer it could transform into a top 50 performance next year with some injury luck. I expect the rest of the offense to follow suit. [/QUOTE]
