I found a play in the UVA game that backs up this observation in the OP. With about 30 seconds left in the 1st quarter, SU's on offense. You'll see the line almost perfectly executing an outside zone blocking play for Tucker.  Unfortunately, instead of being patient, Tucker cuts left, away from the wall of blockers - and quickly gets creamed. He has a special ability to hit holes, but this play shows that he might be pressing too much. I'm sure the staff will notice this and address it ... along with the other OL run-blocking issues.

Another replay note: check out GS's sacks. A couple are blitzes - which are going to happen. However, at least 2 maybe 3 sacks occurred when he dropped too deep in the pocket instead of stepping up into it. This takes him across the arc of the DE's that are engaged with our tackles, enabling them to reach out and grab him - which they did multiple times. It's a teaching point, along with throwing the ball out of bounds on dead plays.
