scUM has four true freshman OL and transfer Willie Allen who have yet to play a game.

scUM has seven young offensive linemen (2 seasons or less) who have seen action in a combined 17 games (2.4 games each) with a combined 8 starts (Zak Zinter and Karsen Barnhart have four starts each, the rest have zero combined). The "clear cut expectations" guy has seen action in 2 games in 2 seasons (redshirt in 2019) with 0 starts.

scUM has five veteran offensive linemen (3 seasons or more; 20 seasons combined) who have seen action in a combined 66 games (13.2 games each) with a combined 19 starts (3.8 starts each). The leader of that awesome pack in 5th-year senior Andrew Steuber, who has 17 games and 8 starts on his extensive résumé.

So that qualifies as a "deep and talented group" up in Ann Arbor.

Meanwhile in Columbus, Ohio State has the best offensive line in CFB, we've got at least two legit All American candidates, we're playing two 5-star talents out of position because we're so damned deep, Thayer Munford alone has 46 games and 33 starts to his credit (six more starts than all 12 of scUM's returning OL combined), and yet we're worried that we won't have three NFL-caliber offensive tackles heading into the 2023 season.

From a personnel standpoint, I feel good about the OL. We'll see how good Sherrone Moore is at coaching them up. The tackles are an upgrade after the two starters were injured for the entire season last year. One of those guys is back and the other tackle will be either the guy who played most of the year or an upgrade. Left guard is likely an upgrade, as Filiaga is rumored to have been replaced despite still being here. Center is either the same starter from last year or someone who passed him. Right guard is either a returning starter or an upgrade.

It amuses me that they still assume that someone new automatically means better.

Even when they were recruiting top 100 guys (Bredeson, Onwenu, Ruiz) they barely managed to develop them into a competent unit.

Now they’re working with top 300 caliber talent with a new, zero-experience OL coach and they still just assume someone new filling a role will work out.

Good luck with that.

Yea the logic that guys who couldn't beat out the guys who sucked last year are automatically an upgrade is some classic DFBIA shit.

They also constantly confuse having lots of bodies as "depth". "we got all of these guys, none of them have ever really done jack but depth!!!"

This is a fun read.

It goes from them hyping Cade McNamara (HE WAS THE QB BAMA REALLY WANTED!11!!!) to blaming last seasons poor result solely on COVID and opt outs while ignoring the fact that Harbaugh's poor overall recruiting and ability to actually retain players is the reason they ended up in that situation.

Also WTF is this hack website thats spewing "stats" that scUM is the most talented returning team in the B1G :lol: a grand example of why a lot of "advanced stat" crap is......crap

scUM "Blog Boys" are saying that Blake Corum is the next J.K. Dobbins.

Freshman season comparisons:

Dobbins (2017): 194 carries, 1403 yards, 7.23 average, 7 TD

Corum (2020): 26 carries, 77 yards, 2.96 average, 2 TD

They are also saying that some nobody scUM LB is the next Chase Young.

When Michigan "insiders" are pumping out that kind of fake news, it's no wonder that DFBIA is the result.
