So, throwing this out there....our '06 line had 17 combined starts going into the season. Our current line has 20 combined starts. For the simple ones, no I am not saying anything about a National Title other than commenting on those that think a lack of starts (let's ignore amount of playing time as back ups) means the offensive line will be nothing but a floodgate.
Can anyone please explain the fascination with people picking Carolina as a possible loss? Seriously, with the games they have the four previous weeks and a more than likely losing record and they've lost their best offensive player from last year, what makes you think Will Muschamp's team will be suddenly better? And please, if I get no other answers, I want this one question answered: Why do you think Will Muschamp can better develop a team (as of right now without any theoretical nonsense) of unproven talent than Dan Mullen can with a lot more proven talent?
For those looking at injuries, yea, could be a problem. Also, couldn't other teams get injuries, why just factor in ours?
As previously stated by many I could see us losing to UGA LSU and either Auburn UK USCe or Mizzou...that’s a situation I wouldn’t want to be in but it’s not a foregone conclusion we’re gonna win against any of our lesser east opponents and auburn is tricky w that Dline and if we have injuries or we’re not properly gelled by then it’s gonna be a tough row to hoe
I could see us losing those first two games, just want to see the thought process of how Orgeron is becoming a better coach or how Auburn will go from a team that was 3-5 in the SEC with a loss to UT to a team that is on the level of LSU or UGA with a new QB making one of his first road starts. I'd also argue we faced a much worse front seven situation at #failstate last year.
Don't get me wrong, do I think we could lose some of these games? Yea, but I'm looking for the why. The DL vs. OL thing I think is only a piece of a much bigger puzzle as we have seen our staff and these players play around it before.
