how much of being a good O Lineman is being big and strong and how much is technique?

like i know a 5'9" 165lbs guy can't technique his way through the SEC, but I'd be curious to know from someone who has coached or played OL

or is our struggles just a product of Bad PLay from the Unit as whole vs individual line play?

Our O line couldn't start at Centre College. Everyone in the country knows that. lol. This O line is HORRIBLE beyond words. This O Line is the worst group of any groups in any college sport. Period.

The answer is not difficult. These players, with one exception, are not very good.

I don't think some people truly realize how bad our oline is. This oline is so bad, they rarely get to the second level on blocks. The guards don't seem to know how to chip on a DT and then slide off to the LBer. A simple DE/DT stunt confuses them and surely at least one of them goes freely to the QB.

The past few weeks everyone blaming Towles but I can't stand to watch this OL. I'm glad Drew got the start, really liked what I saw from him. Couple
Bad balls but that can be chalked up to the wind. Barker threw in front of his WR. Not behind them over the middle which PT did since day 1.

Tonight I thought our oline might have it a little easier but in pass blocking it was still the same old same old. And I'm not sure how good our run blocking is because both Boom and JoJo both run hard and have to break early tackles on their own. I think we have some good linemen but our tackles need to be quicker for sure. Hopefully next year we have good ones coming in.

The oline is so bad someone needs to answer for this at the end of the season. The line has gotten worse with each year. Is the coaching really that bad or can they just not evaluate talent. I stated at the beginning of the year that we ragged on the poor recruiting job Joker did. 3 years later and Jokers players are still manning the line. All other positions Stoops players have taken over but not on the o line. Stoops o line recruits have been totally ineffective . Someone needs to answer why.

So UK runs for over 400 yards and someone starts a thread about how bad the offensive line is? Only at Kentucky.
