[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 804599, member: 282"] I’m not sure why we’re comparing our O-Line in year two to Boston College’s. Maybe it’s oversold (and I think it is), but BC has a reputation of grooming and growing NFL-ready linemen. Haven’t they been running essentially the same blocking scheme for twenty years? At the beginning of the season last year, BC’s line was considered one of the ACC’s best, if not the best (which is a tall order). They’ve had years of consistent training in technique and physical conditioning. Even if they had some younger linemen, they have the ability to be in a “get old-stay old” format on their lines. We haven’t had that ability, since we’ve only been in this scheme for two years. Year 4 or 5 of Key will be the first real “get old-stay old” year at Tech. To me, FSU is a better comparison. We are both in an offensive line transition—theirs, because Jimbo Fisher left the cupboard bare, ours because we had a massive scheme change and we also graduated and lost key players on the offensive line. FSU started their transition in 2017. Geoff Collins started in 2019. Even though FSU is two years ahead of us in reworking their offensive line, they seem similar in progression to me. It feels like they’re one year ahead of us in rebuilding their offensive line, even though they started two years earlier. [/QUOTE]
