Easy to scout and exploit. They get beat to the move and the penalties come from getting beat. Either false start to cheat on the speed or holding to try to salvage inability to block assignment. Constant disruption in the backfield.
That said, UND was exceptional at penetrating our and most everyone else's OL. CPSLO, not so much; big difference. Doubt we see anyone else as good at exploiting our OL as UND.
Germer has been here through those recruitments, can he not judge that? Or is the S/C coach making them bigger but less athletic? Is it because they recruit 300 pound high school kids that can get away with less athleticism vs. 240 pound athletic ones that are going to redshirt in order to gain the size needed?
The $64,000 question that no one seems willing to answer. At what point (either as O-line coach or during recruiting) does Germer become responsible for this shit show?
Germer is the one who is saving the Griz from a bigger shit show. Germer didn't recruit all the receivers. Germer is the guy who has found 3 players in recent years, who could be moved to the o-line and become starters. He's a terrific o-line coach. Ask anyone close to the program.
