Guys, Our O-line Will Be Fine Against Florida...

And if they do happen to need a little help, these guys have us covered...

The guy that is laying down must have been quail hunting with Bradley Cooper. To the right!

after 4-5 games, the "we are young" excuse doesn't work anymore. The oline needs to suck it up and get it done. Plus, fla is missing some of their Dline with injuries and they don't have much pass rush anyway. The oline will shut them down!

Youth is still an issue but not having a true LT is a bigger issue. I respect Kerbyson for standing in the gap... but he's really not the guy UT needs there. Blair isn't even listed as a LT any more. The Gilliam injury was bigger than most of us knew.

Yeah...Penn State...it's funny cuz it's Franklin! :lol: lol: :rofl:

Seriously, what's up with the dude in the left side at the one yard line. Flat on his face and noone around him. What the heck?

Imitating a possum.

If I'm not mistaken, it was the RT that whiffed on the block that got Worley's elbow injury? Maybe the RB whiffed also? Don't remember Worley being blind sided much except on corner blitzes he should have picked up on his pre-snap reads?

Dude...do you know how many times a blocking scheme may change from the time these guys walk up to the line of scrimmage to when the ball is actually snapped? The answer is several. The center usually makes an inital call depending on what the defensive front 7 looks like, but may change it on the fly due to what the QB audibles to. The Tackle and Guard have specific calls depending on what the OLB or DE may be doing. Let's not forget about what may happen in blocking assignments if a Corner should walk up for a blitz. These kids have been thrown to the wolves over the last 4 games and it's just not that easy to say that youth shouldn't still be a factor. In some aspects, it will still be a factor next season. It's just the state of this Oline at the moment. They'll get better with every game.

not sure if I'm reading this correctly or not, but UF has played UK and bama already this year. Just an FYI.

The post says UT has played an a SEC game. Oklahoma was a big time game as well. No unknowns about us or them this year going into the game.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

They should have called holding on them both ... but then, is that off-setting or a 30-yds of penalty? :crazy:

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Offsetting penalties. Both players should be ejected from the game.
