[QUOTE="More Frogs the Better, post: 2794494, member: 70401"] This is a really good question. I don't have an answer for you but it's a good question. I can guess as to some reasons that I think might be the problem but it's only that. My first guess is that we have just missed too often on recruits at this position and the players are, with a few exceptions like Niang, players who have some significant weaknesses in their games. As the year goes along and DC's get film, they start to exploit those weaknesses and they are slow to adjust and adapt to what teams are doing. How many years have we seen the line be pretty good to start the season, bad in the middle of the season, and then get better toward the end? I suspect another reason is that the line pretty much has to play as a unit and the degree to which we cannot keep players healthy and are constantly plugging a player here, moving a player there, takes its toll on continuity. For some reason, there seems to be a very negative reaction to those who question our S&C program but the number of injuries and the fact that these guys are very large but get muscled around by programs like ISU and KSU suggests to me that something is lacking in the that department.
