Sure the backs have helped, but the o-line has been pretty good. Have they given up some sacks, sure. Don't know of a single o-line ever that hasn't. Do they have some lapses, Sure. Don't know an o-line that doesn't. We just magnify the problems. I am willing to bet that the o-line has been good on 85% of the plays this year. Hell, you don't put up those type of numbers without being pretty damn good everywhere.
Ex. I watched bama play vt. All I heard about was how good the bama was but the offense was bad. Then, they play A&M, and all you hear is how bad the defense is, and they are going to have to rely on offense this year. Now, its back to there D is unbelievable.
This is college football. You just have to hope your mistakes don't beat you. Ours do right now.

AD5....got me curious about OL and our offensive stats......#2 in the SEC with an average of 517.3 ypg (includes last week with our studs out) behind TA&M, ranked 1st per game.
Hmmm, I'll take that average every game, every year. Now the D????.....won't go there.

We went from contender to pretender in 60 minutes on Saturday once again. Wondering if they will be happy with the Chik Fil A bowl this year. My guess would be a resounding YES and wait until next year when we will have once again have all this talent coming back and a top 5 recruiting class (Dream Team x3)

If the defense being good 2 years ago, and the O-line being pretty decent this year is enough to convince you richt is solving the problems some of us have been complaining about for 6-7 years, well, I guess nothing short of underperforming 10-15 years in a row would convince you that he's not.

Ogre, if you thought we were still a NC contender after all we lost in Knoxville, well I am sorry. Guessing you bet on the horse with the broken leg. Please don't tell me you picked Apollo Creed in Rocky 5. No excuses right. That horse should be just as fast.
