Bain is going to be great no matter what. But OCs can isolate him if we don't have others also creating disruption. He was being optioned against, being doubled, even sometimes tripled (with an OG or TE chipping off the snap, then a blocking back helping out) at the end there because all we had was JHH and a not-quite ready-Wayne to go with a cast of guys like Deen, Gore, Lichtenstein, Moten, etc who weren't enough of a threat to game plan around.
If Mesidor, Kelly, Wayne, JHH, Clark and Horton can be the guys we hope they can be -- aided by contributions from our elite true freshmen DL guys -- Rueben Bain will be a household name at the end of the season.
