How bad is Auburn's offensive line?

Who are you speaking of? On the OL, there's only 1 5 star ... Ashley, who redshirted last year because of a multi year starting Srs at both OTs.HuskyJW said:My favorite so far are the 5 star athletes from 3 years ago that can't find the field.
But he's an upgrade.
Fuck me sideways.
It's called recruiting

TLDR on all SEC posters is basically some form of 5 reasons, but being 100% serious. More talent, coaching upgrades since the offseason, the only weak spots aren't actually weak spots because xyz, the only losses they had last year weren't real losses because xyz. Basically every SEC poster is OBK.AU2xguy said:It's the biggest question mark on the team, but the line is loaded with talent. Just lost a lot of experience due to graduation. For example, the starting LT has only been playing football for 3-4 years total (going back to high school). He's just a freak athlete that was originally recruited to play D-line, but got moved the offensive side rather quickly upon seeing his footwork and potential.
The new O-line coach is actually the same guy that coached the line from 2013 - 2015. He's a significant upgrade as far as on field coaching goes.
As for wildcat, AU has run some kind of wildcat package every year under Malzahn. Lindsey also ran some wildcat while he was the OC at Arizona State. I wouldn't read too much into this as it's probably just a new package for matchups.
Fuck I'm actually going to have to root for UW against these assholes.
You still mad about 2010? -

We've run it every year in every game since Gus has been the HC.HuskyJW said:per The Athletic.....They installed yesterday a Wildcat package with an unbalanced offensive line....they haven't done that since 2016.
I'm telling you ... our OL is going to be good. Recruited very well. .... We have a 2nd year 5 star that is trying to find a spot.
Good
No, I'll be on here looking for your posts. -
Ups only chance to penetrate is off the edge .... our experience/strength is in the middle.GreenRiverGatorz said:We know Greg, Levi, and String are all gonna manhandle Auburn's interior OL. But Rice, Benning, Bowman, and Williams all have a great opportunity to assert themselves as well and show us whether or not we actually have an edge pass rush this year. Mathis was good for the half season we actually had him, but this defense hasn't really had a formidable edge rush since Kikaha and Hudson were balling out in 2014.

I'm going to take a wild guess that Benning won't do shit against Auburn. Bowman on the other hand....Doogles said:This game is all about heat from the edge. If we can do that Stidham will throw at least two picks.
Just haven't proven we can do that against bigger athletes. This is Bennings game. -

2014 - 52 Sacks for 297 Yards - 2nd in Conference
2015 - 34 Sacks for 208 Yards - 5th in Conference
2016 - 40 Sacks for 248 Yards - 2nd in Conference
2017 - 39 Sacks for 259 Yards - 2nd in Conference
Our? standing in the conference has been consistent, but overall sack numbers are way down from Kikaha and Hudson.
Push up the middle is great and we? have been amazing at it. But it's clear you need heat from the edge.

Yeah but half those sacks are against Sac State, Wazzu, and the fighting Beavs.DoogCourics said:GreenRiverGatorz said:We know Greg, Levi, and String are all gonna manhandle Auburn's interior OL.

This game is all about heat from the edge. If we can do that Stidham will throw at least two picks.
Just haven't proven we can do that against bigger athletes. This is Bennings game.
Umm ... Stidham only threw 6 ints all year.
He won’t be throwing one (unless a lucky tip int)
... much less 2 ints
I’m confident in Tega & Driscoll at LT & RT.
Tega is a freak athlete & started 7 games last year. Driscoll is a Umass Grad who played against MISS ST’s DL (better than UWs) & didn’t give up a sack.
Plus Stidham is sharp in the pocket... watch UGA & Bama highlights from last year. -
It’s Not good. If Washington don’t exploit it MS St will

I know Stidham is good, but if he's getting rushed or pressured, we have the best playmaking secondary in the country to take advantage.AuburnFan said:Doogles said:This game is all about heat from the edge. If we can do that Stidham will throw at least two picks.

Browning never throws picks either, but he throws like 5 a day in camp against these guys. -

I think Auburn wins but Stidham's getting picked at least once. -
Myles Bryant will come off the edge a few times....and probably get thrown into the first five rows each time.
-
They not that good Gary..young and inexperienced..Going to be a helluva gayme. Will come down to the wire. Auburn not as good as advertised. Probably 4th best team in SEC, if not lower.
