Our o line coach

[Doc Fumble]

Is Riola the coach to get our OL to elite status? I don't know, but I do know we have a very long way to go.

Getting the high school studs we got on the OL in the 2024 class is a big step in the right direction. Elite status starts with elite athletes.

Yes indeed what we've been missing for a lot of years now are the upperclassmen who are able to teach the technique and to set the standard for our younger players coming up

It is nice to see he isn't our only coach on the list.

At the beginning of the 2023 season, the OL was very much the issue, particularly the OTs. Now the OL did get better as the sesson went on, but that's not saying a whole lot.

We need our OL to be dominant. Is Riola the coach to get our OL to elite status? I don't know, but I do know we have a very long way to go.

The first couple games I would agree and then Michigan too but for all the rest of the games they were better than they ever were under Frosted flakes.

Good point. More than any other position, development is a major factor for an offensive lineman. Time is necessary to develop technique, strength, size and blending with the other O-linemen. That is why during the Osborne years very few freshmen or sophomores saw the field. Since that time, this has not been the case. The results have been injuries, loss of confidence and players looking lost on the field.
