Offensive Line


  • BIG THING

    • This line is not good enough to consistently run the ball, except for Panasiuk

      • B. Hill’s talent gets him yards

    • To be fair, they cleaned it up in the second half, but the damage was done

  • Confirmed that team know they stink

    • After fumble sideline interview

      • We’re executing the game plan

        • The game plan is to befuddle the tackles


Offense as a whole


  • Offensive line lost the game in the first half

    • Penalties didn’t let them respond to TD run

    • Strip sack was an 6 point play

              • Looks like he didn’t want to tackle him

                • I don’t blame him
