The Offensive Line Has Room to Improve

The Georgia Bulldogs offensive line earned a great amount of praise entering 2015.  Many, myself included, believed this was a Top 5 unit in the country.  While that still could be the case, the offensive line needs to improve on the left side for me to now confidently make that claim.

Though UGA returns four of five starters up front, only three guys are in their same spots as last year: LT John Theus, RG Greg Pyke, and RT Kolton Houston.  Junior Brandon Kublanow moves from LG to C and Sophomore Isaiah Wynn now becomes a starter at LG.

I saw a few play where either Greyson Lambert or Brice Ramsey were under too much duress thanks to the blind side in the first game.  Though I knew the continuity on the left side was going to pale in comparison to that of the right side on UGA’s offensive line , I thought UGA would look a little smoother protecting the blind side in Week 1.

My primary issue with the unit however was with run blocking.  There were a few times that I thought that Nick Chubb and Keith Marshall made up for poor blocking with their undeniable vision and foot speed.  Though I will give credit to the ULM pass rush for giving it their all against a superior offensive line of Georgia, I hope that continuity comes a little quicker on the UGA offensive line than I saw in Week 1.
