Worst Offensive line

Peyton Manning could not have done squat behind that offensive line. Lets see if they can handle NTSU.

and who is our O-line coach? The guy that has been moved into about 5 different positions in 7 yrs - and has never coached an O Line before.

What happen to all those 2012 OL players that the JJ supporters keep bragging about even though they had suspect offers? I believe Walling. Rice, and Chamagua were the main ones they were talking about would be good.

9 sacks which set an All-Time Baylor historical record-mind you Baylor had 4 returning defensive starters-JasonB thinks the offensive line will be fine though

Worse O line performance in years. Looked like the good old days with Caven teams. At least we didn't lose a QB to injury like we did with Caven teams.

The good news is that the OL can't get any worse. Also, half of the issues were missed assignments and comunication errors. Inexcusable, yet fixable IMO.

Did Bozidar Antunovic play?

I thought I just saw Oakman just beat No. 78 for a sack on replay-maybe No, 79 Seaver Myers

Later it looked Seaver was just wearing his jersey in a way that makes him look like no. 78

You can't blame the OL guys for not wanting to be identified after that performance

For what it's worth.... A friend of mine who played at Baylor and follows the program closely, said this is the best defensive line Baylor has ever had (and that was before the game started)

Sadly, Rice could have been a good one, but he had issues passing tests (and I don't mean the kind they give in Dallas Hall), so last I heard, he xferred to UNT. I think I heard something about some more drama up there, so he may not play for the Iggles either.

But regardless, 2012 recruits should be redshirt sophomores now, and maybe just now beginning to sniff the field. Problem isn't the 2012 recruiting, it's the 2010-2011.

I don't believe Bo played. I was pretty far into my Gin and Tonics by the 4th qtr (thanks to our Oline and PK), but by then it looked like the the line mostly in tact, while they burned redshirts on all the skill players. Surprised we haven't had a rant on that yet,

Problem was definitely 2012 recruits (I know you are a Klemm hater but he is not the issue here but I know you will try to spin it that way). Seems like Bennett recruited better offensive lineman and wide receivers. But I guess it is just preseason as some would say.

Well, I guess you and I can agree on that.

I'm not a Klemm hater, but other than Gott, where are his players? Just pointing out the facts.

Unless they are physical freaks like Brown, redshirt fresh/soph OLs should be in the gym and at the training table -- not on the field. The fact that we have 2 frosh, 2 soph and one Jr on the OL is not good.

Where are the upperclassmen OLs? Riddle me that Batman.
