We have small players and have for some time.

The O-line will be considerably improved imo.
Firstly, Trey and Brandon were probably our best two lineman. (Trey for certain)
And we lost them both...
that would even hurt a team like Bama somewhat. And it was a kill shot for us

So we had all those other guys play without those two and got thumped.
However,now they know exactly where to improve themselves.
Guys like Ryan, Johnson, Marcus Tatum, and Nehiuls? were all tackle prospects. Pass blocking, zone-read blocking players. They have improved believe it or not....but they were so far behind already in strength and size, that they were overwhelmed when thrust in there. Another Off-season of strength and conditoning KNOWING they will be the starters is huge for their progress!

Throw is Morris, Mcbride , Alkerm.... whatever his name is, Lampley and you have some good young depth. Wright in-play as well.

Many have already said it...but you couldn't fix the lack of physical development in one off-season.
20lbs of muscle makes a huge differnce in this game

You recruit bigger players overall and make sure they are in working hard in the S@C. Easier to put good pounds on players that are already built to carry it when they hit campus. GBO!

When Kennedy did play, he didn't look much better than anyone else in the OL. Trey did not play particularly well when he was playing, either (probably due to S&C).

It took a lucky hail Mary and Jalen Hurd recovering a fumble against app state for us to have that record. It goes both ways

Our overall S&P+ is -2.2

So, accordingly, that puts us pound-for-pound on par with the likes of:
Northwestern -1.1
Indiana -1.5
Baylor -1.9
FSU -1.4
Colorado -2.4
UCLA -3.5
Tulane -3.3
(USF is +1.0, by the way)
Air Force -2.7
(Nevada -0.6 and Wyoming -0.1, btw)

...something like that? Am I reading that right?

Well now we see what happens when a football team has almost zero strength and conditioning program for almost 2 years.
