Let's see your preseason polls

But how can the whole group have only played in 3 games when they weren't stutters. Do all Cat o-linemen go from complete benchwarmers to full-time starters, without being guys who come off the bench? I'm not questioning the number of starts; I'm questioning the only 3 games the group has played without being. starter.

Oops, weren't "starters".

Weird how the cats have a top 3 FCS O-line and the number 2 rushing offense with tiny guys. The cat o-line was very small in 2022 and somehow beat many rushing numbers…

I will double check starts but considering there are four senior and they have all gotten time since early at MSU… collective 107 starts from the 5 but almost every player has sat a year except for Moore (sophomore) and Perkins (who has 40 straight starts) due to injury.

You mean had?

The Cat o line is tiny. Show us any smaller ones of too 25 teams. Cats have 1 guy barely over 300. A but no 1 Griz was over 300 last season.

Something is fishy about the start numbers. Backups and new starters are coming in and they have only played 3 games when they didn’t start? That can’t be true. And, I meant starts for Cats. Not from high school.

I'll take 290 pounders that are tough and can move... over 330 pound slobs all day long. You must not know much about OL play. Ask Colter who the best center in the Big Sky is... and I doubt he weighs 280.

How'd they move in the Brawl? Or against Idaho? Or the fatties?

I won't even ask about tough because, well, 37-7.

 

[Monymony]

And the games played where they didn't start? The 3 you mentioned.

I didn’t count but it’s under 10 combined.

Dude I proved how the current OL easily filled in for the lost players.

Wolf: Backups better than the starters, man! I mean, how often do you have to be told. It's simply the bub way.

TWO OF THEM WERE HURT FOR LAST SEASON AND STARTED THE YEAR BEFORE! They aren’t backups!!!!!!!!!! No one on the starting line this year was a backup. Stop trying to make this argument

I think all caps are necessary to finally get my point across

Guys on deathbeds better than the starters. Got it.

It's an interesting storyline twist, but I believe I'm tracking.

Umm I hate to tell you but I don't think you're convincing anybody here. Something about knowing your audience blah blah blah.

So, did you just lie in your original post? You said the following in your original post on the subject: "The OL has played 169 games and started 166." 169-166 is 3, not 10. You obviously just made up your original post, or lied.

I guess an average of 21 starts per player isn’t convincing enough that these guys aren’t new or backups.

I looked at the official MSU website not fcs stats websites

You obviously can't read. All I have said in this thread is that the Cat o-line is small, actually tiny. Why do you have to attack something I have never said. I know more about o-line play and football than 100 of you and Mony put together. No one posting on egriz in the past year has said more incorrect and stupid things about football than you have. No one.

Then show us the stats, player by player with links, that prove your original post on this subject. "The OL has played 169 games and started 166."

 

[EverettGriz]

THAT THE BUBS BACKUPS ARE BETTER THAN THE STARTERS!!!!

Cmon guys. Focus. None of this is new territory. No different than 2023. No different than 2022. No different than 1934.

You obviously don’t… the best offensive linemen in FCS is Gus Miller and he is UNDER 300! Cats o-line is 277, 282, 292, 292, 306 and the backups are 291, 282, 294, 296, 284. Also explain how one of the best centers in FCS is 282 and is “bad”.
