As usual for us this game illustrates the old football adage about how the game is won or lost in the trenches.

Against a lesser opponent where our OL looks competent, or in this game even dominate, it allows for our skill guys to shine out and excel, Angeli included.

Especially Angeli as given time this kid is more than McCordesque throwing dimes multiple times so beautifully in such tight windows.  And like in the bowl game he started for Notre Dame, we saw his decent elusiveness and running ability, which is better than McCord.

But as to the main point it’s Same shite different decade here as we often have stellar skill kids (on D too), but both lines too often lack for us to be a next level team (meaning top 10).

That all said we aren’t unique in this respect as this is true for the majority of power 4 teams, so with what we have we can certainly be competitive and expect we will in every game with what we have, and with this coach, because even while lacking upper echelon talent, our lines as of late are a notch above what we often have here (especially the OL).  If Fran ever upgrades this even more watch out.

So yeah Starting with Clemson next week, who looks eminently beatable, we have more than enough to be competitive as needless to say they’re looking very mortal.
