[Old Jumper]

Somerset's offensive line play is preventing the Jumpers from having a really nice team. I said after the Mason County game that it was a work in progress and it just hasn't gotten there yet. A team with enough speed to prevent them from getting to the corner and to keep Hatcher in the pocket can easily shut them down. They've still got a few weeks to work on it. Hopefully it gets better.

One starting offensive lineman was unavailable because his mother insisted that he go on a "fall break" cruise (yes, you read that right). Then when their best offensive lineman went down with a knee injury mid-game, well, things got bad. The bottom fell out of the cardboard box, if you will.

But if you think the biggest issues facing the team are isolated to any particular position or facet of the squad (not team), no. Not so. Their most formidable/longstanding obstacles are much more complicated and systemic . . . unsolvable, really, without subverting the status quo and stepping on some toes. I don't see those solutions on the horizon.

Maybe I'm wrong. I hope so. Time will tell.
