It's no excuse because ultimately that does fall on Lebby but it was a thing where we couldn't get Loadholt until after Colorado was done and we couldn't just sit on our hands in terms of lineman either. We also missed on a few guys. I know two of our biggest misses both ended up at OM, Kutas and Townsend.
How does that equate to the performance of the OL at Colorado last year? Even though they have overated Prime as HC, is their quality of OL players even worse than us and we of course are in the brutal SEC?

Also, I just counted and we have 14 WR's on our roster (did not count TE's in this total) and only 2 have really stepped forward this year. Mosley has disappeared and OM transfer has not really stepped up. Again, bad evaluations, or development in this group? Some of the names from the portal don't even have a catch. Is there only so many targets to go around and not enough time from the OL to get more passes off or a combination of all these factors? This was supposedly one of our strongest rooms and only 2 can be depended on. What is your take?
