Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 1986824, member: 485"] Data is interesting -- thanks for that. One improvement that should lead to better results is more upper classmen in the OL (same for the DL). Our OL (after injuries to Emerich & Palmer) had a true soph (Conway), a Rs-soph (Roberts), a RsF (Bryne), a RsF (Adams), and a RsJr (McGloster). For many programs, this group would be in development mode on the second team, behind upper class veterans. A second improvement is a better group of RBs. We relied on a true soph (recruited as a hybrid) and a true frosh (quick, but undersized), and both may be adjusting to different roles next season. As these two units develop (or get upgraded), the data will follow. Also, there is evidence of a recruiting uptick -- the red-shirting O-linemen are going to push the current starters; the RB commit (Pierre) has put up huge numbers and should push for a role in 2017.
