Definitely the O-line. We are long in the tooth with age, and as the season progresses so does the injuries. We need to solidify the O-line in the draft to supplement the beefed up defense we acquired in the off season. Our defense was a top tier defense last year as is, but our offense couldn't score. We need to provide time for Campbell to develop plays farther than 5 yard quick hitters. After a while, defenses pick up on this and load the box causing everything including the run game to be mediocre at best. If you don't believe it, just look at our starting first half record last year, then our finishing half record. Teams adjusted to the short game (which is all we had) and we gimped up in the home stretch.
