Here is a look at the Offensive and Defensive lines end of year rankings for both teams in our last 5 match-ups with Florida. All data is provided by Football Outsiders. A number of factors obviously affect these rankings, talent, development, experience, scheme, play-calling, and clearly strength of schedule. For example, Football Outsiders pegged Florida as having the easiest schedule in the SEC last year whereas unlike Florida, we go up against arguably the best offensive and defensive line in the country annually in the TSIO rivalry.

Run-blocking National Rankings based on film study and generalization
Line Yards per Carry: the line gets credit for rushing yardage between 0-3 yards and 50% credit for yards 4-8. Anything over 8 yards is quantified as a highlight opportunity, and credit goes to the runner. Lost yardage (TFLs) counts for 125%. (Garbage time is filtered out for all line yardage averages.)
Standard Downs Line Yards per Carry: The raw, unadjusted per-carry line yardage for a team on standard downs (first down, second-and-7 or fewer, third-and-4 or fewer, fourth-and-4 or fewer).
Passing Downs Line Yards per Carry: The same unadjusted averages for rushing on passing downs.
Opportunity Rate: The percentage of carries (when four yards are available) that gain at least four yards, i.e. the percentage of carries in which the line does its job, so to speak.
Power Success Rate: This is the same as on the pro side -- percentage of runs on third or fourth down, two yards or less to go, that achieved a first down or touchdown.
Stuff Rate: percentage of carries by running backs that are stopped at or before the line of scrimmage.

Pass-blocking National Rankings based on film study
Sack Rate: Unadjusted sack rate for all non-garbage time pass attempts.
Standard Downs Sack Rate: Unadjusted sack rate for standard downs pass attempts.
Passing Downs Sack Rate: Unadjusted sack rate for passing downs pass attempts.

Conclusion: We really don't have much room to get any worse at the line of scrimmage than we have been for the last couple of years - on both sides of the ball. The line of scrimmage defines everything about a team in the SEC. All other perceptions of team performance are linked to these two position groups. How far are we away from getting out of the cellar at the line of scrimmage?

Pruitt on the offensive line:
“I think with the offseason it takes everybody in the program, it starts with our weight room staff with Coach Fitz and all his guys. They have done a really nice job training and our nutrition staff has done a great job. Rachel (Pfister) and everybody associated with her, the people in Smokey’s where our guys eat every day, working with Rachel and her crew. Getting the guys on a good diet and I think the guys have done a nice job of getting some rest and I think it takes a little of that too. Nathan Niehaus has gained 40 pounds in a year, Riley Locklear has probably gained 25 or 30 pounds and Marcus Tatum has gained 25 or 30 pounds. They need it and some of them could gain 25 more but I think it will help them and offensive line is a developmental position so when you sign a scholarship to play offensive line in the SEC and you weigh 260 pounds, it’s probably going to take you three years before you can actually play. A lot of these guys are in their third year or starting their fourth and they are big enough now to be effective I think.”

Pruitt on the defensive line:
“There’s not many guys that have played a lot of ball, I think as a group the guys have worked hard in the offseason but until you learn how to go out there and strain and do it over and over again and not make mental errors and learn how to play, how to practice and do it the right way, we have very few guys that have done much of that. Emmitt Gooden played more than the rest of them, John Mincy was getting an opportunity to play and he got injured last year. Kurott Grarland played four games, Kingston Harris played in four, so they played enough to be redshirted. I think that was good for them, good experience but we’ve got a long way to go there.”

He's not even worth the 9 Kentucky is paying him

Meh, when you're down like UCLA is you overpay just to get back to being good again. That is the premium cost of pulling in guys to join you in the dumps. We did the same for Chaney. No way he was worth being the top paid OC nationally, but we knew we had to pay extra in that spot to even get a pretty good guy and hope if pays off in the long run.

No chance. All sub 5 second times sound terrible but that's because they are being compared to NFL athletes. That's still a blazing fast time for 99% of humans.

Hannah Cunliffe, an Oregon track athlete, ran a 4.31/4.36/4.44 and our own Christian Coleman ran 4.12. Most high level female sprinters have "NFL speed," we just happen to prefer it when those athletes are male footballers because we tend to prefer football over track but many high level female track athletes would blow NFL players away.

who do they lose to

Depends on which bracket 🤷🏽‍♂️ In some I have them losing to Florida and in others either Buffalo Or Texas tech.Michigan will not go far either way.as far as Michigan st. I have them losing to Louisville or LSU either way I like Michigan’s odds better than Michigan st if I had to pick one.
