This isn’t a subjective opinion. We have a new qb, 4 new OL, a new starting rb and 2 starting WR. We are losing 8 starters on offense. I know we shuffle our wr and our rb quite a bit, but any school starting 4 new OL and a new QB would be labeled inexperienced. I don’t think anyone is saying that means we are going to be bad, just inexperienced.why do people keep saying we are going to be very inexperienced on the offensive side of the ball? line maybe, quarterback yes, wr & rb no

At the end of the day I think the position that matters most is QB. I honestly think that the O line may be a strength this next year that we just didn’t know about. Kind of like our D ends last year. We went into the season worried and they were arguably our best position group. I really like CT and all he is doing and I think our line will surprise some people
Are you referring to Wes or Hunter?We have no worries at the center position. Harris is going to be a beast for us. He would have played last year as a true freshman were it not for his injury.
Wes Harris doesn’t play center. Hollins is most likely our starting center next season.We have no worries at the center position. Harris is going to be a beast for us. He would have played last year as a true freshman were it not for his injury.

Of course we have interest. But it’s going to be a very difficult sell to get a grad transfer at RB.If we need RB depth, Clemson kid Fuller just announced he’s transferring..Although a position of strength for us, I Wonder if we have any interest.
Speaking of Wes Harris.......He is listed now at
6-4 310...I do think he is in the rotation this year and could be a major contributor.
Yes, I stand corrected. Keep confusing which Harris brother plays center. But point is that Wes will eliminate our concerns at one of the guard positions.
Wes ... 'could' eliminate a concern at our 2nd guard positon. We have enough animals at the tackle spots to be good there. Question remains... is at guard depth and who shows up to man that ever so important center position.
Again, Hollins did not get moved up when Morris went down, as Schlott was moved over, instead... or was Hollins not available due to an injury? So is he ready, or is the spot wide open to Hunter/Lanz/others ?
Phillips was a tough pill but it is what it is...
I believe if you look at the success of our OL in the NFL guys, they are almost all tackles. Very few interior guys outside of Hunt in recent memory. Maybe 5-6 since 2010. I see our ability to find underrated Tackle talent, the same as our ability to develope DE’s..Our staff does an excellent job finding and developing those tall big frame kids in to next level players. What I hope CT is able to do is get us over the hump on interior guys. Games are won on the interior (G/C-DT) and at the QB position. While our overall talent level is much better we are going to be very green this coming year on the offensive side of the ball...I actually think we have plenty of reason to think we are going to be even better defensively despite some key losses
I think Morris moved over for 2 reasons. Coaches wanted an experienced dude making line calls/protections...and Big Cordel was further along then Hollins. Pretty easy decision.
Absolutely, when Morris went down mid season ... Hollins wasn't ready mentally and/or physically then ... so no reason to pencil him in for 2018 yet.
Anyone else see the irony that his post was at 3:25 a.m. and edited at 4:29 a.m.?
Your name is "asleep," so yes, the time of your post/edit is pretty ironic.Do you really even understand the meaning of irony, Inspector Gadget.
