We see our OL being criticized a lot. If you saw the Urban analysis on BTN he was covering the UMich DL, but wound up commenting re our OL not being able to adjust to movement, and not having good technique.
However, I am not sure the condition of this group. Nourzad has missed considerable time this season, and not sure he is really at 100%. Tengwall may not have been 100% at anytime this season (he missed spring and may not be healed) and Wormley does not look like the same guy from start of the season. Wallace went out vs Minny and not sure his condition. OL is a collision position and there really is no way to be completely effective at less than 100%. All i am saying is the part of the OL issue may be health.
Depending on the condition of these players we may need to be finding as many as 3 backups to play key roles on the OL for the remainder of the season. Looking at the depth chart, there are guys who were considered high level recruits (i.e. Golden Israel-Achumba 4* 3rd year player) who we may need to rely on now.
