Gets me? Grace McWhorter on ESPN talking about our offseason run game improvements and I am sitting here thinking about the 1992 Sugar Bowl when we held Miami to negative rushing yards. That defense did not need a "portal-heavy offensive line rebuild" to get it done. We had guys who sat on the bench for two years learning the system before they ever saw the field. Now we are piecing together an offensive line from three different programs and hoping they learn to block together by September. Coach Stallings would have run laps until they figured it out.
I watch these spring practice reports about our QB battle and I just shake my head. Back in the 80s you knew who the starter was by sppring game and that was that. None of this open competition through August nonsense. You either earned the job in March or you waited your turn. The portal killed that too. Now if a kid does not win the job by week four he is gone to some other school. Loyalty is dead.
