I totally get it from the outside looking in. I'll OJ this and say "if we do, here's how we did it"
C Jacob Bayer and T Makilan Thomas - Bayer finally played a bit last week (after recovering from ACL surgery in just 5 months, insane), but Thomas has been out all season. They are both All-Conference, and we had to move other guys around to try and fill gaps. It's been a mess. This is the first time the OL will be whole. We played 2 freshman OL against Michigan.
I can't overstate how much this has impacted us. We haven't been able to run the ball well at all, and that's made everything a grind.
Our QB Raynor is capable of playing at a very high level and I think he will benefit from having them back together. Here's a quick one on Raynor:
The fans have voted, and the best college quarterback who attended the 2024 Manning Passing Academy is Jaylen Raynor of Arkansas State.

Couple that with some really talented WRs, I think it's possible our offense clicks Saturday.
I also fully expect Heacock to have a great game plan and make adjustments well.
