    2 of the 21 OL who received 1st team, 2nd team or HM recognition were underclassmen. 1 was a true sophomore (Mama) and 1 was a redshirt sophomore (Madison), both of whom were HM. Dawgs started a True Freshman and a RS Freshman at OT, backed up by a RS Sophomore.

    At the Guard/Center position, it was a RS Soph (Shelton), RS Freshman (Boomer), RS Junior (Brostek), and RS Senior (Tufunga).

    Dawgs in 1991/1992 OL:

    SR, Ed Cunningham 3rd Round Pick in 1992
    SR, Siupeli Malamala 3rd Round Pick in 1992
    JR, Lincoln Kennedy, JR 1st Round Pick in 1993
    SR, Kris Rongren, 11th Round Pick in 1992
    Not sure who the other Guard was (Kaligis?)

    Developing OL talent and depth takes more than a couple of years, regardless of whether or not the ADD dumbfucks on this bored see that or not. The OL will be better, but in my opinion, not at a natty level. But getting closer.

    I expect that the UW will have at least one member of the OL at least make honorable mention this year ... I would expect that we'll have at least 2 get recognition.

    I'm as optimistic on next year as the next Doog, but when I put the Molly down I realize the OL is still too young. If they're top 3, great. However, nothing last year would suggest they're top 3 in '16. Put another way, the DL had their way in the Spring.

    DL will arguably be the best in the conference ... it will help to build up the OL on a daily basis.

    The OL doesn't have to be the best in the conference or really even Top 3. The offense doesn't need to be that either. It needs to be upper half and then everything upwards from that is gravy.

    By day's end, your poast will probably be festooned with WTF's... but I do think your point is reasonable.

    The Wazzu and (unranked) Oregon State team he lost to were worse than Cal
