Sucks we couldn’t get him in there earlier to fast track his development. 

If only we had three cupcake games early in the season to get him acclimated

I think on 2nd watch the OL will not grade very well. Run game was a lot Wisner making individual plays. Pass pro was leaky. It was better, but still a lot of work to do 

That's my thinking. We showed improvement, and that's damn sure appreciated, but let's not get caught up in, "wow, the OL's fixed; we're gonna fuck shit up!" that seems to be going around with some folks.

It went from epically abysmal to good enough against what plenty of people claim is one of the best DL in the country.

he subbed in for Stroh in game 5 and then started game 6 of his true freshman season.  that's the definition of getting him in early to fast track his development.

If him to guard was the move since Neto wasn’t this shit should have been done during Sam Houston state and into the bye week and starting vs Florida. Getting thrown in at a position you haven’t practiced out of a bye week was terrible coaching. Stroh had been bad and needed replacing since game 2

Don’t forget the bye 

 

 

 

This line could be good if we found a Hutson replacement.

The Hutson part is the truth.  With him at center they will get eaten alive by mediocre defenses and destroyed by the Georgia’s of the world.  Even Kentucky and Miss St. could give us problems by blowing up the middle of the line.

Georgia DL not that great this year truthfully

While there's a LOT of room for improvement, I feel like something *clicked* with the line yesterday. Improvement is rarely a straight line or smooth curve; a lot of times it's like a stair-stepping function, where you bust your ass for a long time and see no improvement, then one day it just *works* and you're over the wall... until you get to the next wall.

I don't know if OL play follows that, but it sure looked like we got over a big hump on Saturday. And while OU's DL might not be the best one we face all year -- we have some really good defenses on our schedule, they were statistically the best through 5 games, which means they don't suck.
