Everyone knew we were replacing "pretty much" our entire offensive line. Facts are, we are not a very good team. I just don't understand how OU can roll over offensive and defensive lines year in and year out without any drop off. Maybe recruiting is a whole lot more important at this level than any of us want to admit.
there were few times tonight where two spots on the line got burned pretty bad. footwork is part of leverage for them. that comes with time.Everyone knew we were replacing "pretty much" our entire offensive line.

Who is in charge of recruiting the big uglies for the oline? If it's Anderson, I wouldn't be surprised with the results we are currently having. Maybe, just maybe, Thomsen will have this all worked out next year.discussed this last week. go back and look at the recruiting classes from 2014 and 2015. 2 of the 10 offensive linemen have seen significant playing time before this year.
also lost some key development time in the offensive line and it takes time to rebuild that depth
i agree recruiting in the lines matter and it really is the difference in the teams at this level
tech was missing best receiver, left tackle, center, and that was their #3 quarterback
frogs were missing big ross, niko, and i believe gaines. am i missing anyone else

Call me superstitious... but I believe once Gary can fire Anderson, we will win a National Title. As long as that waste of space stays on staff, Gary will not do what is necessary to win it all.at that time anderson was the offensive line coach. not sure if i lay it all on him as there were a few medicals mixed in, and three of the players still on the roster have been plagued by injuries

He's loyal to a fault.i don't agree with all of patterson staff decisions, but we stand a better chance of getting complete injury reports on the entire roster than certain staff changes
curious how long burns will stay coaching. if i had to guess he is over 60
We lost a lot on the line. Guys who did really well considering how much they had to shift around last year. This year's line shows some promise.at that time anderson was the offensive line coach. not sure if i lay it all on him as there were a few medicals mixed in, and three of the players still on the roster have been plagued by injuries
Statistically we were a top 10 offense coming in and will only rise in the defensive rankings after tonight
