The OL turned out really bad, but a key piece of that that was missing from last year is David Andrews. He was undrafted in the NFL, but the Patriots picked him up and he's started every game with them. Andrews was undrafted because he's undersized, but he's nasty and really smart. There's concern that a couple of UGA OL were undersized and they don't really have any true tackles on the team other than Theus, a lot of guards playing tackle.
So yes, they underperformed, but it's not surprising given the relative lack of talent on the line. Couple good guys, but Theus has been playing LT for a few years, but he's a natural RT.
Chubb and Gurley were also able to make them look better than they were last year and this year. Hell, when we had Moreno I said the same things. He was making guys miss behind the LOS frequently. Richt has never had a solid line, he's had one or two guys at a time that were NFL quality. The rest are not.
Lambert actually looked like a world beater when they could protect him against Sakerlina. But that had more to do with the opponent than UGA. If he has time, he's at least as good as Coker. Coker's really not that good, everyone knows that. He's an average QB. But he's got a good line and Henry takes a lot of attention away from the passing game.
