We are getting closer everywhere but on the OL. It doesn't matter if we get Lagway, Smith, Bowens or 5 stars across the board if we don't have a line up front.
Other than Fletcher Westphal who is on the way, only Austin Barber could be considered to be a starter on UGA's OL. My seats were in the endzone Saturday, and Barber consistently kept his man off Mertz and on multiple run plays he put the man he was blocking on their backside. He appears to have a D-lineman's mentality. I have said before the use of 2 OL Coaches by us seems to be a vast waste of resources and possibly be used to either hire an O-Coordinator or another DB coach.
Are we recruiting good enough to go toe to toe with UGA, Bama and LSU? From what Napier has shown so far he is going to have to have supirior talent to win the big games. He isn\'t going to outcoach anyone.
Bit like a muschamp class. Great overall but the OL isn’t being fully addressed. Had Billy gotten a class like this last year he’d be better off as he will have a ton of pressure on himself in 2025 to win big.
Everyone said the same thing about Smart. He did recruit so well though it didn’t matter so let’s hope Billy can get there.
Didn't Baeber give up 2 sacks? He wouldn't start over Mims. He was out hurt but is considered one of the best Draft linemen.
If you think about it, they scored 43 points without Bowers or their the best OL.
