It’s concerning that they started the same guards. It shows they will NOT change this lineup going into Clemson. This was our chance to give Congdon and perhaps Merriweather a lot of snaps to get right by that game?

As health improves, we will get DB’s back and fletcher back and so forth. Thankfully O line isn’t banged up, but this is not a winning O-line so what is there for optimism here?

The rest of our team can compete at that Natty level….need to see something from specifically the guards.

The optimism being that we have a team of great players, exciting to watch.
Are we National Title contenders?
So far, Yes.
But probably not as strong as last year.
Why can't we just enjoy our team and players?

Really don’t think there’s any teams as strong as last year, might only be a handful of undefeated teams at the end.
 
Like how the OL was handled. Sent out what had been first group & wasn’t long before seeing Congdon & Merriweather, followed by Cantwell at tackle in second half. Surprised didn’t see Pickett or maybe played later.
 
Yup. I haven’t seen snap counts yet, but by my eyes Congdon and Meriweather played a lot of snaps. IIRC, 65 played first series and then Congdon came in for second series and he played majority of the game. I wasn’t tracking it but that’s my general impression.
Congdon had 40-50 snaps I'd say.

Judging by your comment I'm sure you watched the game.
