But they improved year to year, and in 2012 they were something we could be proud of.  Bray and the WRs also developed and we had an offense that was very good.

Which of course was wasted by terrible coaching and not having a D.

I guarantee you this...if this O line improves as much as that one did, it won't be wasted like the last one was.

Interesting in that group was far more highly rated than the current line.  The highest rated red shirted.  The right side was just as green as this one but by the first game had already been together more than the current line.

How could they have been together more in the first game...? 

You are correct that they were more highly rated...we need a few good recruits and maybe a Juco or two IMO to add depth and maybe new starters.

They had gone through all of fall practice together as a unit.  We have gone through three different alignments this year.
