Re: Well, better teams are considered better teams because they are better. As in,

You have to perform well against “better” teams to be great. You can’t just shine against the academies and Virginia’s, etc, but then play mediocre against the “better” teams bc then those YPC become empty calories and the O line gets unrealistic expectations put on them. That’s all I’m saying. I think the verdict is still out on this o line as it sits right now especially with Riley Leonard not being there to save the day.

I’m hoping Carr’s ability as a passer off-sets Leonard’s running ability.

I also wonder if that’s the real reason why Denbrock called the Miami game plan like he did bc he didn’t trust the o line. Idk
