Is the OL going to seriously be as dismal as it has portrayed on TNet. I’m figuring another 3 losses with a bad OL.

It will be if the interior doesn't improve. Hopefully last years experience made some of the young ones better.

Austin has been on staff for four years or so when you add in his time as a graduate assistant, so I’d expect much of the same across the O Line. I mean, he was groomed by Caldwell!

The line will not be bad as long as we do not have injuries like we did last year. Last year was totally affected by injuries the whole year until the last 3 games when we were healthy and our wins reflected that.

I'm very hopeful that with the coaching change the OL will not be the huge limiting factor for us in the future. We'll know in a few seemingly, very long months. Lets hope we find magic with the new coach.

A QB with the ability to move and consistently throw will make a big difference this year. Unsure why the OL is a weakness every year?

McFadden and Parks give us one of the best OT duos in the country. Putnam is a good IOL.
The worry is that who our guards will be. Marcus Tate likely is one of the starters. The other guard spot will be occupied by Dietrick Pennington (most likely), Mitchell Mayes, Bryn Tucker, or Trent Howard.
It would be massive if we landed someone from the portal, especially a center.
