Teams with over 100 starts have fared very well in the past.

UNC will score a lot of points this year.
Hopefully ND is vulnerable .

Below are teams of interest including our opponents.
BTW -any tips on pasting from excel to this page appreciated.I had to manually line this up.

Number on the left is the OL rank in starts. Bowling Green is #1 and not listed. UNC is 2 and so on.
Number in () is the conf rank in OL starts.
Number on far right is the actual starts --Miami has 85

Plus, you have kids ready to go instead of the out-of-shape, overweight philosophy of the previous regime. It's phenomenal to me because zone blocking teams have lighter, more athletic kids. We were running zone with mastodons. Insanity.
 
We have talent on the line starter wise, thats if gall dont start

Gall was grossly out of shape. It was like watching a sloth play guard. He should play around 300. The roster listed him at 312 last year. The dude was well over 320 pounds.

Think about next year as we only lose Isidora. People need to realize we were extremely green on our O-Line last year,
and our offensive schemes and OL coaching were sub-par in my opinion. I think in a power scheme with some FB/Double TE
sets our running game will be more effective. Also running out of shotgun and pistol when there's 0% chance that Kaaya is
going to run was ridiculous. I think our run and play-action will be much better in Richt's pro-style offence.

Optimally we would land a player like Leatherwood to be LT next year and move Darling to Guard. But that may be a pipe-dream.
 
This is insane. You mean we're not doomed? Can an OL really improve the more it plays together? Unbelievable!
 
Who on the line this year will be our "will man". Who will will the other 4 guys to block lights out every snap?
