It's maddening, it seems like every damn year, we have one or two weak links on the OLine. Last year it was breaking in a new, rookie LG from a small school AND "The Bodyguard" not really being a bodyguard. This year, it's Volson not taking the next step and Karras is not playing well. I just don't get it. We have the horses. Is it scheme? Is it Pollack's coaching / teaching? Is it ATTITUDE (the WANT to absolutely dominate the man across the line and push him off the LoS)?!

As far as the running game, not sure we can pin it all on the offensive line. I know the grades are bad but Mixon hasn’t been effective at all, and our scheme just isn’t conducive right now to having a lot of success on the ground. But I think the best thing we can do is find some way to get the running game going because we are going to need it going forward. Being one dimensional against the opponents we have coming up is a sure fire way to get dominated.
