And I think that lineup is a big upgrade in pass protection but maybe not so much in the run game. But I'd definitely stick with it. 

Yeah this morning on OTF discussed whether these 5 will play against bulldawgs in Athens... likely, but may also have to rotate in some of the bigger Texas OL players in order to handle jawja's size and physicality.

Also, we have two OLs from Frisco and both of them are refried ass. 

Shit like this is why I click on so many threads. I don't want to miss something new to say. 

I used "asswater" in a sentence this week. Sweatergawd I'm going to say "refried ass" by Wednesday.

if people said that, they are actual idiots.  our issues are not size or even strength. the issues are understanding responsibilities which it looked like we had a ton fewer of this game.  Stroh is just a disaster overall. we probably should have had Robertson getting center snaps during the 3 game pre season.

I think the OSU game fooled everyone.  running game was OK and Arch was just bad regardless of pressure that game.   therefore we ran with that OL through the next 3 game set which were auto wins and ignored the actual reality of what was going on, on the field, in those games.   then Florida happened and reality struck.  Failure on the coaching staff to really address the issues regardless of the wins.

For an OL coach that I've read for so long prioritizes pass pro over run blocking, it really is a mystery how it took until November to figure out that Robertson and Hutson are our best pass pro option at LG/C.

The issue always seemed to be that they didn't know who they were supposed to block in pass pro. I think having two guys who can play center and thus know the protections is advantageous at this point.

Look, I know we're down bad, but we're not "raid the Ivy League for OL" down bad.

I didnt have the “entire oline on the ground gif” from the UTEP game.

I suspect when Kirby obliterates our pass protection schemes we’ll be begging for some Ivy Leaguers.

It took until season week 10 for the offensive brain trust to figure out the Hutson + Robertson solution for the interior.  Even then, this isn't really a combo that is going to excel against the stronger defensive fronts in the conference.

Burton was asked a variation of "will Sark move on from underperforming assistants (Flood)" a few times over the last few weeks.  Each time he dismissed the question, repeated the "importance of continuity talking point," and said essentially they would be replaced only if they left for the NFL or something.

Current state of offensive line is not really something that happened over a single offseason.  This was a multiyear failure of talent identification and development.  Seems like continuity for the sake of continuity is not ideal in this circumstance.

And for all our alleged talent the last couple of years, the OL was subpar, particularly in run-blocking.  Not this level of disaster, but not what you need to win championships against elite teams.

They weren’t good…not good enough to beat the top teams. Asking them to pull seems insane. Also some of the play calls are just dumb. This team needs simplicity in so many ways and just doing fundamental football the best they can.

We need quick passing air raid type offense with this group. Not sark and his over thinking, long developing plays.

You’re in luck. Texas went to that with 3 min left in the game, down 20+ points, with no chance of a comeback.
