Stop complaining about the OL and give them some love

Because there are certain players who are starting over other players who have higher grades than them, specifically at center. So I question why that is.

maybe the amount of reps plays into it as well. More reps could lead to more chance of mistake and a lower grade. similar to hitting percentage.

Weve played north Dakota, and because of reasons nobody knows, griz fans (some) love to assume they aren't good, even though they shouldve beat Kansas state on the road and are currently absolutely knifing the MVFC. Can they improve? Absolutely and they will. I think giving time to a freshman with great upside and potential for improvement is awesome. But calling the unit out, as a fan, in the midst of a 7-0 start...

Who is saying they aren’t good? I think they will beat one or both of the dakota states
 
Those PFF scores are not meaningless. They show where improvement is needed and how teams compare with each other, and how players on the same team compare. The coaches may do a better scoring, but that doesn't mean the PFF scores are meaningless!!
 
First comes the performance, then the kudos. The old saying, the Opera ain't over 'til the fat lady sings. In this case, its the game ain't over 'til the OL(and DL) do their jobs. Five more games to punch their tickets.

I don't have to have credentials to have an opinion, and in my opinion this is not a championship defense unless things change.

I didn’t say you needed credentials. I asked what they were, so as to be able to better assess your opinions. Many people know coaches, players, player-parents. Listen to qb club. Have neighbors, friends or spouses who have expertise.

What are your credentials on defense? The D has played very well at times. Less so at other times. Note that we already beat a Dakota school.

Noted, already beat the best dakota school. Only dakota team that played a big 12 team to the wire this season. Lost a heart breaker to THE MONTANA GRIZZLIES.

They have been doing their jobs fairly well and much better at times. My view is that posters have to know and show what they are talking about until they have any credibility, at least with me.

100% agree. Otherwise its similar to yelling into a fan. Its just noise.
 
What it really all comes down to is not whether the lines are adequate but whether they are elite, which is what we need in order to win a natty. Some of us just simply form opinions by watching the team play on a weekly basis, And therefore it doesn't seem that they are up to the standard needed. Maybe I'm wrong, I certainly might be. Or I could be right. I guess we'll find out.
 
I wonder if NDSU feels like their O-Line isn't elite this year because they couldn't pick up a 4th and 1 on their own 34 yard line against lowly Indiana State last weekend.
