I really want to hear more about the O-line. The O-Line has been better under Harbuagh for sure but still not close to what Stanford had going on when he was there. Really want to see a breakout season for that unit at some point.

And sharing his insight.  Love hearing news out of camp.  And even better, camp is almost over!!  Time to set the stage with a convincing win over florida.

GO BLUE!!

Love that they're talking about making more big plays on offense. More athleticism on this team now.

But I'm still concerned about the corners. Due to our defensive style and front seven talent, we put our corners on islands. Regardless how good our receivers may be, its not great seeing get beat by freshman. The moment one of these practice reports comes out mentioning positive stuff about our corners, then I'll get beyond excited for football.

Hurst is at this point an NFL starter playing college ball, so I ain't gonna read into his play to evaluate the O-line.

That said, there's a dearth of news about the O-line in general, not just here but across the board, and that's worrisome.  I mean, I think we all figure the O-line is too young to be a consistent strength this year, but I guess I left hope in my mind to be pleasantly surprised.

Eh. We've heard about OL improvement in camp every year. They did improve, but not as much as the hype would have suggested. That said, I think we take a bit of a step back this year in pass protection. Too many new guys, too many young guys for us to have great pick-ups. Best case scenario, the run game improves a tiny bit.
