Our OL will be the strongest area on the team next season. Being able to run the football will make a lot of people's jobs easier...Coach Silverfield, OC Kevin Johns, the QB, the WRs, the defense, and DC Mike McEntyre.
I think a good OL could have helped us win 2 more games last season.
Cinci might have still beaten us...but we could have...and SHOULD have beaten SMU and Tulane.
No reason to lose to Tulane...even if they were also running a big chunk of Mike Norvell's offense. (And probably will next season too with Chip Long)

Last year the issue wasn't only the line...The backs were nowhere near as good as they have been the previous 4 years.

Yep. Saw some stats somewhere that showed the significant difference in long runs last season vs the prior seasons with Gainwell, Gibson & Henderson. Some of their runs were just amazing & each of those guys consistently got big yards after initial blocks. We didn't see that last season. Clark & a couple of others are serviceable backs but not in the class of the previous mentioned 3. It made a big difference having to go 10-15 plays for a touchdown vs sudden 6 after 5-6 plays. And with a new QB, there are questions. Hope we have a breakout back waiting to break loose or we may struggle offensively.
