joego, that's honestly the million dollar question & the answer will be the biggest factor in determining the outcome of the 2025 california golden bear season
first of all, as predicted, the staff's early week depth chart is a a deceptively misleading fiction document, watching the early pregame warm ups from a couple of feet away it wuz no surprise when the 1s at the tackle slots wuz frederick williams iii (who had a really emotional up close conversation with coach harsin right after the final whistle, it's pretty obvious that frederick cares) at left tackle & leon bell at right tackle
both guys played mostly error free vs their ****show performance against duke but didn't dominate nobody, coach anae is building blocks that is happening slower than everybody (including famika) wants but that's always been a slow croc position room which requires some patience
ur last o-line analysis called out the uneven performances of jordan spasojevic-moko, last nite he got subbed out for a spell at left guard by braden miller
bottom line, the cal's monster offensive line report card is improved but that kinda non dominating/violent style of play is not gonna earn a win in blacksburg next friday nite
wut's ur take, joego??
I guess I give them a passing grade but it is very faint praise. They did their jobs on the 3rd/4th short runs and JKS did have more time than normal in the pocket but it is against an awful team in UNC.
Bell I didn't really notice much is good, but Williams did have the 2 false starts and he got demolished on the sack in the end of the 1st half.
Part of me is wondering if any of the RB had any juice to them, will it make the O-Line look comparatively better just because on the rare play they all do their jobs, it is still like a 6 yard run.
