Out of all the college football playoff teams, only 1 has a player in their starting o line that has not been in college for at least 3 years. Yesterday, Miami rolled out an o line in which only 1 player had been in the program 3 years in Corey Gaynor who has been here exactly 3 years. People want to talk about how all college football playoff teams run some variation of a spread offense which I agree we should be running but the O line still remains an issue and as you can see we arent going anywhere by starting 2 true freshmen, 2 2 years players and a 3rd year. Literally no legit team in the country does this. O line is a position in which experience sometimes outweighs even talent because if you havent seen a lot of defenses they will trick you and cause you to look stupid which we have all year. Not sure if this is a Barry thing or If Manny decided to go this route but if the older guys we have in campus arent good enough to beat our Nelson, Clark and Campbell we HAVE to find some guys that can because those kids are literally teenagers in the trenches and they arent holding up right now. Never heard of a legit contending team have a starting left tackle that was 250 pounds just months before the season started.

not sure how playing a mediocre-to-crap sophomore or junior is any better than playing a mediocre-to-crap freshman since the line talent sucks up and down the board.
