Line and Run game issues

[OTFBrandon]

Alright obviously something needs to change and needs to change fast. I don’t know what the solution will be and how good of a solution we will see come Saturday but there has to be something positive coming out of it. I mean even if the running backs as a whole manage to get 60 plus yards Saturday, which is still pretty pitiful, it will be an improvement that needs to happen. I don’t know if they change personnel or if that’s even the problem with the line. They just look like they don’t give a rats ass to be physical. I don’t know if this game was a fluke because there has been some signs of life in our line, but if memory serves correct I remember Cole Hutson and DJ Campbell bullying the Alabama front in there sophomore seasons. Where did that fire and intensity go? Those two should be the undoubtedly the BEST we have right now on the line and I’m not saying they aren’t because half the time I see Hutson on someone or on the ground by himself and Campbell trying to fight someone down the field. So they still have that fire in them without a doubt but they need to translate that to their younger teammates on the line especially the Left Guard position which still remains the BIGGEST AND MOST promblematic position of this offensive. I honestly feel once they get that problem solved and I hope it’s fast, the offense WILL be better. Now onto the running backs. No one can create space for themselves. I know it is a banged up room right now and inexperienced and the line isn’t helping at all with those problems, but I know for a fact these players are too talented to not be patient enough to hit holes and just run outside to traffic. Again I do think most of the run games problems are to do with line play but it is still not nowhere near acceptable for Texas’ standard. Hopefully we see signs of life and emotion against OU, and I truly think we will. These players are too damn talented not too. Hook’Em!
