[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 750291, member: 2299"] I'm not the one that called anything a scrimmage game. I'm saying people are getting too hung up on the word choices instead of the actual point. This year we weren't going to compete for a title. We almost certainly won't next year. In some people's eyes that makes this a rebuilding year/scrimmage season/playing for the future/ whatever you want to call it. That type of season, whatever you call it, was likely going to be the case for several years when we decided to make the change that we did. For some reason? Yeah. The reason is they were outliers. They were also outliers while they played here as well. There's no reason to believe their ability to transition is any more standard than their play while here was. And Braun certainly had issues transitioning offenses. And some of our OL will transition better than others. The problem is, the OL as a whole is what matters. Having 3 good OLmen and 2 bad means you have a bad OL. There is also a level of consistency that is needed. If the OL is fine 75% of the plays, and bad the other 25% you have a bad OL. And yeah, we've made strides. We were horrible last year. We'd have to make big strides just to get back to normal bad. The problem is that when players graduate the strides they made are no longer being built upon. It's why when you inherit a junior with two years of eligibility, he might start playing well right in time to graduate. Now, maybe we'll get lucky and everyone will utilize the extra year of eligibility which will be an unexpected benefit. My guess is many will move on anyways. [/QUOTE]
