I have been very concerned about the interior OL for the last two years.
The weakness of this group has prevented the Aggies from running the ball effectively and forced the offense to rely too heavily on the QB to win games and offset a bad defense.
So I watched the ASU game for the 3rd time really concentrating on the OL.
Each OL player took a turn missing 2-3 assignments, all of them, ( which is what happens when you play a good team).
I believe the tackles are solid.
I what I noticed was that when #73 came in the offense performed much better.
The first scoring drive happened when Stuckey came in.
He had only 2 plays I would consider bad, the missed block on a 3rd down Kirk slip screen and when he got beat on a 3rd down bull rush that resulted in Allen being sacked.
If #73 continues to performs like he did against ASU I think we have a line that can win a lot of games.
BoneCrusher - I see that you were right when you said the line did not play well.
