That energy in spring clips rarely translates to September. Mercer's offensive line allowed the fewest sacks in the SoCon last year, and our returning starters will handle that "chip" just fine. Defenses need proven production, not just spring hype. Your unit gave up 4.8 yards per carry last season, so flying around doesn't matter if you're out of position. Synergy is built on stopping the run first, and the data from last fall doesn't support this new optimism. We'll see how "in sync" they are when our experienced line controls the line of scrimmage.
