We can hit on 4*,5* talent but itโs more of a mixed bag when it comes to evaluating,coaching 3* talent. A good o-line can do wonders making an average offense better than it appears. Hated losing Henson and hated losing Turner. Turner built the OL that Sumlin took over in 2012 that had 3 NFL guys on it. Turner and Henson built the 2020 Maroon Goons that were (in my opinion) the best in the nation. Top 3 at least.ย I don't know if it's injuries, our new OL coach, the loss of Schmidt, or some combination of those. But our line is not good. They've never really gelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma's Offensive Line this season is the best since 2018 (which was built by Schmidt was well). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt didn't fit in to the culture Riley wanted in his program.ย 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyFootball Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Gosh. Out of an off week down 17-0. Ouch.ย Sadly the freshmen having to fill in at OL are struggling and directly led to 7 of those points.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyFootball Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 OL just has never had time to gel. Dunno if that makes a difference, but that and injuries has kept them from ever being any good.ย Weigman got in and wasn't that impressive until SC was in a prevent defense.

It's one thing to pay them millions a year, itโs quite another for it to be guaranteed ... the schools should be able to fire a coach that's under performing without having to pay out these huge guaranteed long term contracts .... that's total stupidity, but I guess these universities have to keep up with the Jonses .... they have creaed something that's gotten ridiculous .... not many professions have that sweat a deal ....

Stoney Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 I guess weโre going to find out in the next couple months just how rich and powerful the Aggie donors are and how much an ego Jimbo has. Jimbo needs to look hard and deep, have a Michael Jackson man in the mirror moment, ask himself why his team canโt pick up and execute his offense. Does he have the ability to turn loose the control and bring in a new voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
