I think there is some validity to your take about the OL, but I think your conclusion is unduly pessimistic.  On the basis of improved depth and talent alone, plus getting several prospective key contributors back from injury, the line play will be improved from last year.  How much improved?  TBD.

I understand the "Missouri" approach to avoid rushing to judgement, but the fact that we might have three guys [and at minimum, two] who started a substantial portion of last year on OL pushed to the second unit speaks volumes.

Again, when you field the worst ever OL, there's nowhere to go but up.  The question is -- how much will it improve?  SU has never historically had strong OL [even back in the McNabb days], but having the OL go from completely subpar to functional is achievable, and would pay huge dividends.

Edit -- I also view the new OL coach as a net positive, compared to Cavanaugh.  Him being here in the spring should eliminate what you predict for the first two games, IMO.
