Our linemen are strong. The issue is they are slow off the ball and have poor balance. It also makes it a lot harder to block when you have to move to a silent count and everyone in the stadium knows the play call is a pass.
They were getting up the field to fast for screens or traps to work.

What we needed to was more 12 personnel and have the 2 te in blocking.

Maybe we should have tried The Barge for a series or two? 🤷🏼‍♂️ (I’m about to get abused aren’t I?)

Someone commented on Twitter during the game that if this coaching staff had the 2009 roster they'd win 9-10 games easily. We've got the coaching now to hang with tough teams, but over 4 quarters the talent differential stacks up. For as much as Bielema as been a win in the trenches type of coach it's clear that our lines need a MASSIVE talent upgrade.

When we had commitments from Andrew Dennis and that Center who flipped to Auburn, I thought we would be in a little better shape, but alas both are gone.
