UGA had some of their best ever offenses while he was their OL coach. We're talking Todd Gurley, Nick Chubb, Aaron Murray, etc. How would you like that kind of production here?
I think more needs to be said about Butch Jones' offensive system and the type of offensive linemen, blocking scheme, size of the players, etc compared to what Coach Pruitt runs now. Outside of Trey Smith, perhaps the other linemen are not ideal for his system. Perhaps all are having trouble adjusting to the new blocking schemes in Coach Pruitt's offense after spending so much time learning Butch's. Maybe Coach Pruitt's blocking scheme requires more strength and size that the players will need an extra offseason to get under Coach Fitzgerald.
I bet you a dollar our team looks better in 2019 strength and conditioning wise. It took Kirby Smart an extra year for his s&c to kick in as it does everywhere. You can't expect an instant change in one year.
Combine this with bringing in Wanya, Bryn Tucker, Jackson Lampley, Darnell Wright (hopefully), etc and our offense could very well start cranking. Our RB's and WR's look good. I see growth with Guarantano courtesy of Coach Helton's tutoring. Offensive line play is the oil that keeps the engine running on offense. There's no reason why our offensive line can't be as productive as UGA's during Coach Friend's time there.
