Are we required to play 5 Offensive Lineman?

I am not too familiar with the intricacies of legal formations. But based on the transfer priorities looks Like Fisch may be planning on running multiple RBs in formation.

Could we see the offensive version of Kwiatkoski Defense? With 2 Down lineman, 2 Tight ends, 6 WR/RB and 1 QB on the field at once? It's what our roster is built for.

We had the best passer in college football and the best receiver unit in college football, plus the best pass blocking OL (I didn't think they were as good overall as 2022 with Kirkland and Bain, but w/e) and still scored 9 points and 22 points in the rain.
We will be playing in the rain and snow now. Game in Eugene is now end of November, not a sunny October/beginning of November day.
Need to RTDB now, just not how Yimmy implemented it.
 
so … the only thing I could think of is there some other team who’s entire o line is in the portal …

I scoured the on 3 portal listing …

and there is ….

The Akron Zips - they went 2-10 I think
 
Guy will probably be the starting LT and he bails the day after the first lifting session.

Maybe the new S and C guy is mean or something.

I don’t think we should lose sleep over this one

the tactic seems to be for every one linemen that we loose we add two RB’s or two DB’s. You’re right though, nothing to be concerned about. I’m sure we’ll find 3 starters in the spring portal.

We? have zero depth and as shitty as he may have been he was penciled in as the LT starter.
 
What I learned from Texas fans is that if you weight 350+, you will be a great defensive lineman. So there should be plenty of Americans that can step in and play…as long as the NIL money is priced right.

You don't need 5 OL but it's the most advantageous to have 5 OL. A legal formation will have 2 ends on the LOS and 4 players in the backfield be eligible for a pass (includes a QB). You can always have less than 4 in the backfield but only the two on the outside at the LOS are eligible to catch a pass.
If you were to run an offense with 4 OL, one of the other position players would be required to be a blocker and cannot move downfield on a throw. Therefore, it's advantageous to have 5 OL since you have 5 dedicated blockers and 6 dedicated skill positions.

That was New Mexico State, but this dude is good. He was the highest PFF rated RB in FBS mid-season. Don't know how he finished. One of you dorks has a PFF subscription, I know it.
