Here's something you need to consider with the Lville game

After Ryan Norton was announced to be out of the game, Clemson's offensive line had a total of 0 starts between any of the offensive lineman that played (prior to the Wofford/App St games)...not to mention Clemson's RT Gore going down and backup RT Fruhmorgen also being injured during the game, causing our backup RG (not even a RT) Morris to come in.
With the entire offensive line pieced together and going against a STOUT defensive line and linebacking corps (ie. former Big12 defensive player of the year - DeVonte Fields, along with 2 Seniors and 4 Juniors), they allowed Gallman to rush for over 130 yards and Watson to rush for over 50 yards. They only allowed 1 sack and 4 TFL (including the one screen pass that went for negative yards).
I'd say our young, inexperienced offensive line did a pretty good job against some tough competition. They are only going to get better as the season progresses.

Please don't use lower case letters when making your point D-ROB...
It doesn't have the same effect
Thought our O - line did a tremendous job considering the circumstances
Think this is why we did not see much down the field passing though

I just think our WRs were covered and Watson was getting impatient and squeezing passes in.

If you find where they have, let me know. They've always been a backup.

Gore started the UGA game last year.

And maybe the SC State game the week after. But he was quickly injured/incapable of playing so they moved Kalon Davis over there. Gore technically got the start but I don't remember him having much success.

You're correct....
So without Gore in, 0 starts.

I think Gore lost his starting spot last year after having an appendectomy

I thought before the season started Dabo said we would be pleasantly surprised with this offensive line and it might be one of the better one's we've had in a while. He said we have 10 players that are we can win with (which we have). 3 weeks into the season and now everyone is worried because we can't stay healthy against 2 chump squads and an 0-2 L-ville team, and now it's all gloom and doom? It's funny how the perspective has changed so fast.

And this is why recruiting is so important at the college level. You start at a much higher level with the young guys than you would with 2-3* guys. Sometimes enough to make things happen.... even with little to no game experience.
