They don't have the push or punch to make it work in pass Pro leading us to give up too much ground deflating the pocket. In the run game we aren't in sync on combo blocks or getting to the second level which is why everyone is at the line and are backs don't have any lanes to break some runs. I love OL play and the guys we have just aren't there yet, Bart might be a little too hard nosed for them and too much about nastiness and not enough about tech since we are a little small for a BB team (Remember NFL OLs were smaller on average than BBs Wiscy and Arkansas OLs)

OK. Enough of this - time for a gift turnover from MD. If they are gonna Nebraska us, go full Nebraska.

So disappointed in our Oline play. Really expected that to be a stalwart of this team that would allow an average offense to operate. They are going to have to start rolling Peters out or something. There is no pocket and our receivers can’t get open. Bad, bad combination.
Easily
What do you mean, we actually have a passing game. Idc that he is the smokin' Jay of CFB, but Art doesn't make the plays that BP has tonight. Art may be a better leader but he isn't confident in his arm to make the plays we need in 3rd and Long.

To their credit, they knew in advance that none of those former Heismann candidates on the studio crew (and very few of their national audience) would want to hear anything about this game.

This and first half against Nebraska are the best the defense has looked
He has the ability, but he needs to work for it. I am starting to have a feeling if he had the drive he'd still be at Georgia

Thinking Brandon is our best option -- until we get a transfer-in next season.
I don’t review tape or watch Ford at all times, but I don’t think the coaches this year or last hate him and aren’t using him out of spite. That leads me to believe he’s not being used as much as many Loyalty members would like because of his play. Would love to see him do well, but maybe not all the coaches fault if he isn’t.
Need our DangeRuss to make BB roll again.
Yep, how do you not run it 3x there then kick a FG?
At least you run out the clock and keep the D off the field one time.
Russ Wilson is a future HOF. And we love him out here
