We have not ever really been very consistent recruiting and developing offensive lineman at Syracuse.  This years group underperformed a bit considering it was almost essentially the exact same crew as last year. But its hard to say Shraders injuries were completely on the OL.  Did Sharder get banged up more in the passing game or running it? Part of it is just the inherent risk you take using an RPO QB. Now did we run him more than we should have because they couldn't run block as well as last year and opposing Defenses shut down Tucker more because of it...i'd say yes. I think next year our WR options will be better which should help. I'm sure the staff knew the 2023 OL roster would be somewhat of an issue last year but if you are then going to try to improve it via portal transfer or Juco you do it the year you need it.  The good players are not going to transfer in a year before they are needed. Hopefully we can get a couple nice pieces via this route this year. Hopefully Bleich is healthier than next year.
