The OL is not really a problem at all. I am not sure how people can say it underachieved. When our offense sputtered this season, very rarely was it because of the OLine. Now, every single unit on every single team is going to have an off game, and for us, I would say the OL like terribly against VT.
You look at the other games our offense struggled... Georgia Tech - OL actually played a great game. We ran it down their throats (until JF decided to stop running) and all of our problems on O were on the passing game; EJ's fumble, Kelvin fumble, sacks that were on EJ because he can't scramble or throw the ball out of bounds.
Florida - The offense struggled in this game because EJ was throwing INT's and fumbling. If you rewatch the game, EJ had plenty of time to throw the ball. The run game was averaging 4.4.YPC, but we didn't commit to it, we decided it would be better to put the game in EJ's hands.
Virginia Tech - This is the one game they really struggled.
NC State - In the first half they dominated the game. In the 2nd half, NC State came up with our offenses kryptonite; run blitz and if it is a pass, bank on EJ missing the throw.
People just like to use Trickett as a scapegoat. Our OL played great in 7-8 games, poorly in 1 game, and then in the other 3 it was a result of our team not being able to hold on to the ball, which is not an OL issue.

So looking to next year...
