basically need Howard to stay healthy and take advantage of all the weapons he has now...

..and limit the mistakes that plagued him at KSU (perhaps by trying to do too much, hopefully). just be steady, don't turn the ball over and get the ball to the right place.

As for the OL...if both tackles from last year are still starting this year, it's a problem. at least one needs to be pushed out of a job (I'd lean toward the RT others might say LT needs to sit) but regardless the quickest way for this season to go off the rails is with the OL not being able to hold up. everything else is in place.

: I think Chip Kelly replacing BOB is huge.

: BOB would have been great if CJ was here.

: Chip will use everything and the kitchen sink.

• Guys cant improve? * - jaxstor [18:47:35 03/21/24]
  • I think there's hope for the LT in that regard given the physical traits. I think Fryar is miscast at RT already... - Brutus [19:05:42 03/21/24]
    • Fryar was 1st-team Big Ten. Could be a better guard, but he was fine at OT.* - BayAreaBuck [19:17:24 03/21/24]
      • Pretty decent in run game. Only 2 B1G OTs gave up more sacks. Abused vs Edge speed. * - G-Man [19:47:05 03/21/24]
        • I think “abused” is hyperbole. Only gave up 12 pressures, which is quite good for an OT.* - BayAreaBuck [20:04:07 03/21/24]
      • 1st team by the stupid media that doesn't know crap. 3rd team by the coaches was generous as well... - Brutus [19:42:30 03/21/24]
        • The media, coaches, and PFF all rated him as good. He’s probably a better guard, but he’s fine at OT.* - BayAreaBuck [19:47:08 03/21/24]
          • He's alright. OSU should be better out there. Needs to be actually in order to win... - Brutus [19:49:26 03/21/24]
