Thoughts on#78 Ollie Lane

Not his fault. I think Ellerbe did a great job for 2 years but we are down Wright, Carvin and now Mays from last year.

We recruit Lampley and Nichols. They aren’t playing.
Dane Davis walks on but is still a former walk on
We being in Karic through the portal and he isn’t SEC level.

Before the season started, I said we had serious OL issues, and they were worsened by losing Mays. It wasn’t a popular comment. Lane freaked out tonight, but he just doesn’t have the physical strength to block 300 pound dudes. We will get better when Mays returns, but this OL will never be great.

It’s going to be a long couple years. Cupboard will be even more bare on the offensive line next year. Losing Coop and Spraggins, JJ Crawford, and Campbell. Who the heck is going to replace them? Nichols is suspect, we have no idea what we have with Vysen Lang or any of the other freshmen. So we’ll have Mincey, who’s pretty good, Karic, who’s pretty bad, and who else? We gonna trot Larry Johnson out there?

Get ready for a lot more games like tonight over the next year and 3 months, or longer.

Spraggins is a junior I thought?

He’s playing better than I thought he’d ever play. Surprised he stuck with the program. Proud of the hard work he’s put in. We would be a worse team without him. Need to recruit better up front if we want to be better up front.

You just can't find anything better than a mother's love for her son.

Agreed. I just hope our fans don't turn on heuepel. I think a lot of us were unrealistic with our expectations before seeing this team play.

Anyone who expected Milton to be good was fooling themselves, the fault lies in not trying to address it in the portal but maybe they did and he was our only real option?

I underestimated the loss of carvin and Wright and the effect it would have this year. I really think most of issues start there before QB

Bingo. I didn’t underestimate it or the loss of cooper.
Our issues on Offense definitely start there.
Don’t end there for sure, but it effects EVERYTHING on O.
Playcalling, QB play , running, pace , rhythm

Can’t fix everything this fast, especially developmental positions like OL. Gotta hit the transfer portal for upperclassmen and grad transfers.

It’s year three. Next year will be year 4. Stuff like that has to get addressed from the jump. Other teams have done far better in the portal than we have.

He sucked at Gibbs and sucks now. Never should have been offered a scholarship. Hole filler his whole career from middle school on.

It’s very concerning that none of the young lineman are developing.

I've said this last year. If your identity is offense, then the least of your questions better be OL. But last year, and essentially this year we hear the talking heads say...'well they're rotating this or that, OL is a question, tackles are an issue, the center had surgery, etc., etc.". This year the LB of all things look awesome, out of no where? In short, if your identity is offense, then the least of the damn questions better be around the OL. But for 3 years, OL has been a question mark. That's some serious Bu11sh1t. Makes ZERO sense to me. Next year I better not be hearing this friggin trash!!
