I'm not convinced it's a talent gap so much as a maturity gap. The 
O-line today was playing only one senior starter, and he was running 
on just seven cylinders. It's going to take two or three years to 
build up the maturity and depth that Texas possesses right now.

The present O-line has done remarkably well under the circumstances, 
even though it did get mauled badly in the second quarter. There's no 
way a sane person could ask more of these lads - - and that's what 
they still are by Pipeline standard, lad.
