The irony is that, if the ref throws the flag against FSU, we win that game, are 6-6 and are going bowling.

But that is also precisely the problem.

We had a good five game stretch with Bergeron, Bleich, Servais, Davis and Vettorello.

Record was only 2-3 (3-2 if the ref throws the flag) but averaged 29 pts, 273 yds rushing, 160 passing and only gave up 2 sacks per game and 5 TFLs.

Vettorello gets hurt vs BC and it completely crushed the season.  I am not saying we win any of those games but, after reshuffling the line for those last three games, we averaged 11 points, 76 yards rushing, 142 passing and gave up an average of 5 sacks per game and 11 TFLs.  We would have at least competed with our oline intact.

But a program cannot let an injury to a single offensive lineman completely torpedo an offense.  The oline issues have crushed this program three seasons in a row.  I feel we have enough in other areas to win enough games to get to a bowl but we have to get the oline right and get some oline depth as injuries are inevitable.
