Offensive Line

This is an area that’s difficult to judge with the team split, because it’s a unit that needs to work together. The rules don’t make it any easier either when a sack is awarded when you get within arms length of the quarterback.

Either way, it’s a group that needs work, but it’s also difficult to judge because of the opponent – namely a deep Clemson defensive line with bad intentions is the best this unit will see all season.

It was good to see Ryan Linthicum on the field and he was happy to be there, too.

This group could make or break the season and right now, I’m not comfortable saying they will make it a great season, that’s to be determined.

The good news is they don’t have a game next week and there’s time to get better.
