    We ran a 6 man O-line set against LSU when Muschamp was here, and UGA runs it right now every now and then. But I haven't seen a college team go 8 man O-line yet.

    Not advocating using 8 offensive linemen, but since we are rotating 3 offensive tackles, why not keep them all in on occasion.

    I think Meyer also used extra linemen in goal line and short yardage situations.

    How’s this for a sure-fire six points on the goal line:
    Eight offensive linemen.
    AR takes snap under center.
    Big Dez @ FB.
    Gervon Dexter takes handoff and plows straight in behind 21:cool:

    Big Dez makes the Fridge look small. Rather than Dexter, I would just give it to one of the running backs

    UGA has a 6'7" 270 lb TE which is almost like another OT on the field.

    If Gervon runs into Dez's behind at full speed he may be "absorbed"

    I don’t think we have a problem with running the ball.

    Kayden McDonald, the 4* DT that we are after, also play RB for his high school team.

    Some teams run 7 and 8 men olines using TEs. Very hard to defend if the TEs are athletic.
