A lot of replies to the talent issue and couldn't find much mention of the OL.

The reason BC handled USC?  They could run the ball behind a powerful OL.

The OL is the reason less talented teams can hang with more talented teams.  Our OL is just not very good this year.  Hickey and Trudo both aren't playing as well as last year.  Miller struggled last night to even get accurate snaps to Hunt.  Lasker is a body that has no clue what he is doing.

OL is the key to everything.  While we do have some young talent waiting there (namely Aaron Roberts and Denzel Ward), this is one area of recruiting where I believe we have struggled and why JUCO's play quickly for us.  We do have some more talent coming in (namely Adams and Conway), but I think there are some other guys that are reaches.  When you take guys from an elite high school that other teams aren't in on (since those big schools obviously evaluate those schools heavily), it doesn't tend to work out.  Hope I am wrong.
