Michael Palardy will not be around to not kick and to be kicked around.

This senior class and their culture of losing will be gone.

Worley will be healthy next fall.

Can we pull a serviceable o line out of what we have?

I think so....in fact, after watching our bunch of underperforming superstars, there may not even be much of a drop off.....

I doubt we will see much of a difference with the running game ... but, I would expect there to be a lot more sacks and QB rushes. Our current o-line is pretty decent in pass protection.

Our offensive line sucks at run blocking. Has for the last 3-4 years. The last time we had a decent run blocking, was Kiffin's one year, playing walk ons on the OL.

I'm hoping we get some kids who can move and can get out on the edge and knock somebody out of the way. I'm hoping we've got some kids with nasty dispositions, who like to pancake people in the run game.

I watched Stanford play a few weeks ago, and their offensive line gets so low at the snap, that one knee is almost on the ground. Then they fire out low and just block the shit out of the guy in front of them. And they seem to really enjoy it.

That's what we need. You must be able to run to win the SEC, that's never gonna change.

I think Butch gets it and we will continue to improve as a running team.
