If we are rotating guys in up front, that’s a bad sign. You don’t rotate guys on OL to keep them fresh. That’s not how it works

Um.....so each starter for the oline plays the ENTIRE game? Players get TIRED and that is why you have subs.  Especially 300Ib players. I never said anything about rotating players every other down. But it's good to have fresh players available that can go in and contribute on a high level.

For other positions yes, for offensive line, that's not how it works....  If the game is in reach and the starting unit is doing their job you keep them in.  Now if the game is out of reach then you sub away but you do not just sub all willy nilly up front if your guys are doing a good job.

In the end, players will get tired...players will get injured......you will never play the same 5 the entire game. ONCE AGAIN,.....I NEVER said anything about ROTATING players, but there will be players getting tired and there will be players who get injured. So yes, you will use subs in a game period. I simply like having good players that can go in, if another player is TIRED or INJURED.

O line does not tap out, only come out when injured or coach yanks them.  O line needs cohesiveness and consistency and will normally play the entire game does not perform as much running and exert as much energy as a defense, WR and RB.  I like depth as much as the next guy however Dozer is right.

Well I did say INJURED, but that seems to go over everybody's head. Either way if somebody has to sub in for WHATEVER reason, then I'm happy with the depth.

No, you don’t rotate OL like you do guys on the DL. The starting 5 is meant to play the entire game (outside of injuries, poor performance, etc.) 

OL is a heck of a lot less tiring than DL, no matter the tempo.

The only time you see an offensive line change is due to injury or a guy is playing terrible. It is rare they just rotate lineman on the offensive side of the ball to keep them fresh.

This offense will go as the offensive line goes...

I watched video of Valdosta St. vs. Ferris State, and a lot of the passing plays in Kerwin's playbook took time to develop, and is why the OL, which sucked last year, is especially a concern. I'm sure he has other things in the playbook to compensate for a potentially bad OL though, and I'm getting the feeling that we'll be fine there.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
