Good OL Progress

[Woodlawn VOL]

Our O-line is getting better, as a group we are getting better. Great effort overall today, we played a full game. GBO!!!!!!

4-2 if they had decided to show up for ga st.

That still bamboozles me. First game of a new season and we poop the bed.

2 1/2 yds per carry

ESPN says 44 for 190; 4.3 per carry. I'll take it. Where did the 2.5 stat come from?

 

[GVol1966]

Not trying to insult JG or be cruel. But we're probably 4-2 if we have Maurer playing every game

It’s not JG you’re insulting. It’s CJP, he is the one that sent JG out there

Unfortunately we've had to talk QB play for much of this year, but it's much much more exciting to see and talk about improved line play. Takes a long time to recover from deficiencies in the lines so nice to get to see progress on both sides of the ball.

we just beat a very bad team rah rah

It's a start. We lost to several bad teams over the last few years.

It’s really an insult to Pruitt to say that. It’s obviously true and everyone on planet earth seemed capable of realizing that except him. He even went all butch jones and let us know the fans don’t know. He sees him in practice and knows what he does there. Could you possibly sound any more dumb. Who barre how he looks in practice. We’ve all seen him play on Saturdays (when it actually matters) and he’s terrible! So sad this year was flushed down the toilet because our coach has the iq of an inbred dog. From Alabama

The few times JG threw the ball, receivers had to wait for it or come back for it. What Maurer does that JG isn't is lead the receivers in stride.

I was about to say beating a bad team is a pretty nice improvement.

 

[99Vol]

He hit Meachem, I mean Keyton in stride... be happy, he played well and didn't throw a pick.

OL has been the strength this year!!!! Surprise Surprise

He didn't hit him in stride. As is typical for JG, he threw short. Keyton had to wait on the ball. If the DB had turned his head he could have made a play.

OL is improving every week. Will Friend/Chaney is getting it done there.

Miss St says the game film did not match the opponent they played.

 

[sjt18]

2 1/2 yds per carry

4.3.

Of those registering a carry, only JG was under 3 ypc. He was -5

It wasn't so much the yardage as the fact that they got positive yards when MSU knew they were going to run and lined up to stop it. UT hasn't done that to anyone in a while.

There's more than that but that's a pretty big thing.

The Oline played better, but still struggles to find running room and our backs need to finish runs better
