Percy Lewis had a small injury is why that happened

I disagree simply because Will isn't as physically gifted as what Leach can get. State will always recruit defense well. We haven't even seen a full 4 years of oline coached to Leach's style either.
This team is talented yes, but a good 10 win season only propels us up, not down. The talent will keep flowing to the two main conferences.
Also Memphis is an evening kickoff on a Holiday weekend. Your estimation seems low.
What Lashley gave us really isn't good enough though. It was manageable last year because we at least had Cross on the other side. We get what Lashley gave us last year and match that with a mediocre LT and we are in trouble. Can't sustain drives if we are constantly getting put behind the chains or having to throw the ball away because one of our tackles is getting beat 30% of the time.
Anyone will be better than Lashley as long as they don't false start or hold as much as he did
Kids improve you know this. Reese will be fine. If Lewis cant do it we know Kam Jones can play tackle and be ok. I am concerned too but not bc we dont have players. Im concerned bc it is literally the only potential hole on the team on the most important position group of the team. Or any team for that matter
No doubt they do. But when you dont have anyone that could have played better than Lashley last year you are counting on a quantum leap of growth. There will obviously be growing pains with his successor. Fortunately our Sept is good for that before the tough ass October.
