My condolences to the Smart family. May he rest in peace.

I don't think there's any question the coaching/development is also "under-performing"… just too many high-star recruits, 3 deep no less, to not have a more consistently imposing OL. But as one dawg nation poster said as a prior OL, blocking is a matter of straight-up physicality, just whipping the guy in front of you. Hey, as I said in a previous post, this is a "collective" problem requiring a collective solution. But make no mistake, it's a problem that needs to be fixed if the program is to reach its potential. One could argue OL is the position group more responsible for Ws than any other, and improvements in ours will surely impact our trajectory. If our current guys want to be part of that, then they need to have a mindset of putting their head down and making it happen. Actions speak louder than words. Go Dawgs!

I don't want to be harsh towards our players, but I'm very glad to hear them taking responsibility. Perhaps they've worked as hard as possible and have reached their ceiling. Perhaps there were slight injuries. Perhaps the coaching was not top tier. There are various possibilities as to why our offensive line wasn't as good as it needed to be for us to win against Notre Dame.

I tend to be the ultimate responsibility on the coaches.

Go, Dawgs!

will not single anyone out but will just say that unless the O line improves , we can forget that RBU tag.

People been talking about getting better for a while now. I'm a subscriber to the "Don't listen to what people say, watch what they do" school of thought. As draft-eligible guys now, if Fairchild, Morris, Wilson want to come back one more year, really step up their game and become the maulers they were supposed to be, thereby placing them high in the 2026 draft, then by all means bring it on. Otherwise, I kinda don't want to hear anymore about needing to get better (duh). Go Dawgs!

1st thing, get rid of Stacy Searls.
