OL play really depends on cohesive interaction between a five man unit. Individual ability is a prerequisite, but the unit only excels when the five understand not only individual assignments, but the roles of each man in the group. Offensive line started to show some promise the last third of 2019. Inserting Bergeron, moving Servais to his natural position and having Vetterello capably man the center position had a substantial affect. Played very well against Duke and generally solid against Wake.

Coming into this year, with 4 of 5 starters returning and the probable addition of a former 4 star who started 8 games at an SEC power there was reason for optimism. Now look at the roster at guard. Presumed starters, Bleich and D. Davis have not seen the field. Presumed backup P. Davis missed all of one game and part of the other. Promising depth piece, Red moved to guard and has not dressed and the highest pedigree guy, White has gone from second team on the spring depth chart to not even traveling in the fall. Essentially Tisdale is the only member of the presumed three deep at guard to dress for both games. 
No question the line play has been atrocious, but let’s get through this week, get a couple of bodies back after the bye and wait for the body to be cold before we finish the post mortem
