there have been plenty of really solid explanations that aren't as lazy or shallow as just saying they're all overrated. There's one below. Believe it or not there are good football reasons behind it.

Your whole post is inaccurate, and nobody said they were a high end P5 OL.

I don't know why you insist on this. It can't be fun. Fyi, your answer isn't even an answer. He asked WHY. Everyone knew hiccups and inconsistency were inevitable when you're starting mostly freshmen and sophomores.

Stop calling them overrated. How can they be when most of the board could see the potential but knew the obvious that comes with a new OL. Not to mention new schemes halfway through the year. Tell me who overrated them.

If anything, they were underrated. Nobody knew Empey would seamlessly fill in for a 4 year starter who is now in the NFL. Nobody knew Christensen of all people would win a starting job and be a freshman AA. Nobody knew Saleapaga would do that well right after moving over from D.

Of course they have a lot to improve. They were freshman and sophs. The only way to go is up. But that doesn't make them overrated. Separate the talk about potential vs their performance. The hype has been around their potential.
