with a combined 13 career starts.

McGary started as a RS freshman, Harris and Adams started as true freshman, Brailsford started as a RS freshman, L. Hatchett played meaningful snaps as a true freshman. It isn't ideal but there is a fair bit of recent history that says young lineman can hold up. Carrol is a good coach, I'll choose to say that the kids they go with will be ready to rumble after their five week rehearsal to open the season. Glass half full take, doog it up.

No shit. Like I said they all suck, are injured, and/or are young.
It’s just not true anymore that there is a pure numbers problem though.
-
Yeah but it we had 40 linemen, 31 injuries still leaves us with 9. Link me to something that says this is ideal.
-
even the doogest of purple doog drinks can trump what logic says - I’m a logic guy, zero heart/emotion (aside from hate and anger). But yeah, you make some good points and I’d like you to be right. Unfortunately our o-line is the weakest link until it isn’t.

Ivan Lewis?

speed, speed, speed.

Nate Fellner?

Disagree.
EVERY report said there were 8 linemen available for the spring game. If you want to, you can count the true freshmen and the injured two to get to your creative math but I'll stick to what was actually available for the scrimmage.
They are young kids, but there is no guarantee that Gaard and Hatchett will recover 100%. And as of now, they are not available.
Also, 17-18 is optimal. I've even seen 20 as quoted as ideal based upon the hazardous nature of playing OL.
TLDR. We need 18. Have 13. 5 Available need to be OL

I’m triggered. Looks too much like Brownsocks.
