Why the O-line Was Awful in 2018

Do these guys ever take the time to consider how ridiculous it is to call someone a racist who pulls for UT football? Black kids are going to make up over 80% of a typical UT depth chart. If we were "racists"... there are teams with more racial "balance" than that.

Racism won't die in great measure because too many find it the only way to stay ahead.

You are the only one here that has demonstrated racism at all. You introduced it. No one else did. You don't want to objectively discuss the facts so you throw the racism card.

I believe in one race. The one descended from Adam. The amount of melanin someone's DNA determines they have... has nothing to do with the worth or merits of that person.

You choose who you are. You choose what values you hold. You choose how you will react to what life throws at you. You choose how you use the talents and opportunities you are blessed with. NONE of that has one thing to do with race... it has to do with personal character.

It is no more racist to criticize JG than it was to criticize Bray when he was running around acting like an idiot.... or AJ Suggs who was a terrible QB... or Crompton who didn't have it between the ears either.

No. Considering UT was 10th in the SEC in 3rd down conversion... it means that he checked down too often to guys who had no hopes of making a 1st down.

Stats don't lie. UT is now 2-10 against FBS opponents with JG as the starter. The O behind JG as starter has scored 21 ppg. Those are "stats" that emphatically demonstrate ineffective QB play.

If you were remotely objective and honest... I'd take the time to find or create stats showing the number of failed 3rd down conversions by JG when he completed a pass. But you are so intellectually dishonest... it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

here it is again.....as if those numbers have nothing to do with the offensive line being horrible.

then some of you have the nerve to say "well why doesnt he just avoid the blitz or scramble?"

shows complete lack of football knowledge

In a nutshell, we are seeing the fruits of poor talent evaluation and more importantly what happens when you have no strength and conditioning program for almost 2 years.

O Line struggled because of recruiting from Butch. Also because of previous S & C program.
Maybe because of coaching but the verdict is still out about that

No. You are NOT a mind reader so stop trying to "understand" what you THINK someone is implying. Even if you are right... which you aren't normally... all it does is make YOU suspicious. Baggage you don't need in this world.

I defended Dormady because he was doing the best he could with what he had and being unfairly criticized by people who were vested in JG.

There's one person in our exchanges who shows signs of racism or pulling for players because of their race. You can find him in the mirror.

I believe we hire either Sark or Yurcich, and I believe we will improve greatly with either hire. Yurcich does more with less with OkSU's recruiting rankings the past 4 years between 35-46. I was actually fairly negative on Sark until I saw what he's done every time he took over a college offense from someone else. Hint: He improved the offense greatly, including taking over for Kiffin (a brilliant offensive mind) at USC and improving a 0-12 Washington team to more than respectable stats.

Not sure I can trust a full page of analysis on the Oline without even mentioning the potential role the current position coach might have to do with that.

Sort of like Shoop being the reason Butch's "great" defensives recruits struggled?

Fantastic post!! As ive said we aren't getting any better until our OL is completely processed. In about 3 years we should be a lot better.

I believe you make your own luck. The previous staffs have made poor decisions and the results were painful to watch. Pruitt is on the right track. He just needs time.
