Pad levels are too high for run blocking, especially for 6 6 tall lineman. We use our hands generally well which is good for pass blocking but not the best for run blocking.We obviously know the O-line has been a glaring problem for years under Campbell. The average fan can see that. I’m hoping that someone with more football knowledge can truly break down what they are doing wrong and what needs to be done to improve?
Fiesta bowl would argue that the ceiling was higher and not that long agoTo keep things in perspective, what we saw today, while it was awful is our ceiling. Virtually no coaching staff in the last 100 years can consistently get us to a bowl game like campbell does. We don't have the recruiting or developmental capabilities to exceed our current state. We are what we are and we should be thankful for our mediocrity.
Anyone who believes this, I encourage to find a different hobby. It’s clueless and loser mentality.To keep things in perspective, what we saw today, while it was awful is our ceiling.

Yes and what happened that next year with almost everyone back? And what happened with our recruiting after that year? I am sorry to say that our ceiling may be floor 20 in a 100 floor skyscraper.Fiesta bowl would argue that the ceiling was higher and not that long ago
This makes me want to drink real hard right now. That defense against the rush is trash and yet Sama couldn’t get to the line of scrimmage without getting his head knocked offTo keep things in perspective, what we saw today, while it was awful is our ceiling.

You on the other hand should be ashamed by such a bad troll job.To keep things in perspective, what we saw today, while it was awful is our ceiling.

What? WTF? You completely contradicted yourself.I will say, I’m impressed with what Clanton was able to put together in one year and am excited to see what he can do in year 2 now that he’ll have a year to bring a couple of guys that fit HIS system. Today was a ******* abomination, though.
How?What? WTF? You completely contradicted yourself.
This year wasn’t just bad. It was historically bad for the OL run blockingHow?
The offensive line was **** in 2022.
It wasn’t “stab my eyes with a fork” bad in 2023. Games like Kansas State, TCU, Cincinnati, Baylor, and BYU, I thought our offensive line was pretty impressive.
Today, they were ******* terrible.
I’ve never bought when CW/Bruns/Blum go on their schtick every April-August the last 14 years about how the offensive line will be different next year. But I do believe they grew in one year with Clanton, and that they will grow more in year 2. Clanton is a good coach.
