Scott Huff and our mighty O Line
Comments
-
I'm no football expert but our o line appeared to handle USC's d line pretty well. On some of the running plays it looked like there was a hole that our RBs did not commit to for whatever reason.

The OL play was better that in 2016. And I think this USC DL is more talented than 2016 USC D Line

On a third & short where SA got stuffed on zone right, but cut back hole to left. WhateverFenderbender123 said:I'm no football expert but our o line appeared to handle USC's d line pretty well.

This. Pass blocking was great. Eason got rushed like 2 or 3 times. Just because our O Line is good doesn't mean the other team isn't going to make a good play, especially with the talent of USC. Ahmed, although had a great run, still falls over after most initial contact and has a knack for finding a lineman to run into. We? Have other issues to worry about, such as shit WR and LBs, and a pass rush that seems non existant at times.Fenderbender123 said:I'm no football expert but our o line appeared to handle USC's d line pretty well.

191.2 rushing yards per game in 2019 vs 176.3 in 2018, 183.2 in 2017, 198.1 in 2016
1.4 sacks allowed per game in 2019 vs 1.7 in 2018, 1.54 in 2017, 1.86 in 2016
(Edit: I get what you're saying about consistency, and take out Ahmed's huge run and it's different statistics. But the line has not been a problem except for Wattenburg. He's been struggling really hard. That said, I really just wanted a chance to use the new gif that was dropped the other day) -

Well, everything has changed other than .... the shit show offense.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Can not reliably get positive yards against USC, Bama, ASU, Penn St, Stanford, Auburn, Cal, Ohio State, Cal again, USC again
They still get beat routinely when they are upper classmen laden with studs like Adams, McGary, Harris, Hilbers, etc.
Strausser's lines were actually better seeming than Huffs despite being less talented.
What's the deal?
Leach with the same players on offense would put up 40 points a game
I think this offense in this game is about 100 yards short passing. I don’t like they didn’t go over the top with Opera or Puka 2-3 times just to open things up. I also felt the quick passing game wasn’t there. Fuller slants are difficult to defend with Eason passing -

This is true. Both Ahmed and Newton have a hard time bouncing outside for 5 extra yards. A lot of Gaskin's big runs were when the hole wasn't there and he ran laterally and out ran the other team. Although Ahmed doesn't have much lateral speed or shiftiness to him. He'd still get more yards bouncing outside rather than just crashing the pile.Fenderbender123 said:I'm no football expert but our o line appeared to handle USC's d line pretty well.

I thought about this last night as well. I'd be interested in hearing how people would rank our starters 1-5, what level you put them at with following choices:
Great
Very Good
Good
(won't use elite or average is everyone knows they are neither of them)
Finally, for the TBS'ers what do Curne/Ale, and the rest of the next wave have that might push us into the great/elite category?
