There are some posters that feel the O-line is going to be below average this season.
I have contended that the O-line is going to be very solid.

Though I predicted AJ Allen would replace Kleinsorge at right tackle (so I can be wrong...ha).
I don't know if AJ is being outperformed or if he isn't do the things that you have to do get on the field for the Legend... last year at Fan Appreciation Day, I thought AJ looked like he had a ton of talent.
Something that the AP article mentions is that after Waters got hurt in the OU game, K-State's running game went into hybernation. I recently read that Charles Jones wasn't 100% last year (though he did average 4.1 ypc). The CATS went from a two prong attack in the running game, to one ...and Charles wasn't 100%.
Charles Jones will need to step up this year or he will likely give way to Justin Silmon (or Warmack).
As I've posted before, it sure sounds like Jesse Ertz has better wheels than most believe (or expect).
"IF" Ertz is the starting QB and he can keep defenses honest with his arm, complemented by a solid run game... a lot of good things will happen. The problem, that's a big "IF".
Go State !
