I want it like the old days when the fans and the other team knew we were going to run the ball, we did it anyway and dared someone to stop it.

I am convinced that in 2006 the Tigers ticket to Jacksonville died when Roman Fry went down in the Georgia Tech game. While we enjoyed the thrill of a great victory on national TV, our chance at an ACC championship ended when Roman Fry's season ended that night. After that game, the O-Line struggled the rest of the season, and our running game went into the tank. We did not have the depth on the O-Line that a championship team needs to be successful. I am nervous about O-Line this year - especially the depth. I guess we will all find out shortly, especially on September 10 in Atlanta.

After that GT game, the running attack was out of whack and poor Mr. Proctor didn't have the goods to make up for it.

it is interesting how little attention this issue gets.
Everyone talks about Spiller and Ford's blazing speed, who the starting QB will be, what plays will be effective, etc...
But none of that matters if your O-line can't block...

Amen Brother, I could not agree more! I have been a Clemson Fan since my FR year in 1972! After watching James Davis go 81 yeards as a Brown the other night and after watching our '85 matchup with UVA on College FB Classics, I had one prevailing thought "MAN UP O - LINE". How good would JD and CJ have been with an average O-Line? FRIGHTENING!!!!

YES AMEN TO THAT BROTHER. Our offensive lineman need to go out there and punch somebody in the mouth, theres no reason a 300+ man should get pushed around. Them boys need to go out there with the mindset that there going to dominate the boys on the other side of the ball. I hope everyone of the o lineman gets your article and hangs it on there bathroom mirror, bc they need to see it every morning they wake up.

Otherwise everybody's O line would dominate and scores would be in the hundreds.

"Tommy Bowden loved to talk about how we were one play or one game away from playing for an ACC Championship. My math suggests that we were more like 50 yards per game on the ground from playing for an ACC Championship."
SO VERY TRUE, SCOTT. THANKS FOR NAILING IT ON THE HEAD!

I don't think there are many Tiger fans out there who don't wish we had had even a mediocre O line performance over the past few years while we had the best duo of backs ever.

Great assesment, Scott! Thank you for calling "a spade,a spade."
Brad Scott's lines have been pathetic since he has been here. It is about dang time he produces some positive results. We squandered the talent we had with Davis and Spiller last year.
I am hopeful coach Pearman will instill a tougher attitude.
