1st Team All B1G OL calls Carl Davis one of best

That's right he did have a career best game against Pedo State last year I forgot he was going up against a "1st team all big 10" guard to boot. Even though the game was illegitimate because of the criminal nature of the Pedo state program.
 
He'll be doing his job if he commands double teams. He needs to collapse the pocket into the face of qbs and jam up the running game. But just taking on double teams would be putting the other guys one on one. I think he will do his job great this yr. It's Alvis and Ott that I'm more worried about. The DEs have to do their job in both the run game and providing pressure off the edge. I've heard that Davis was a man amongst boys this spring in both the weight room and on the field. I think this group can improve leaps and bounds this yr.
 
I thought Davis looked pretty dominant during the spring game... Your right, I think the DE's are the main concern, hopefully they'll come along and do a good job of containment and putting decent pressure on the sides.

If Davis commands double-teams, either a DE or the other DT will benefit. Fingers crossed!
 
He is going to have a breakout year. I can also see big things from Cooper an LTP.
I think Alvis will be improved as well because last year he was coming off the ACL injury.
 
Optimistic quotes from Dominic Alvis on both sides of the line......

First quote is response to being asked what it's like playing against Scherff.

"We make each other better every day," Alvis said. "It would be a shame if we didn't, because our D-line and O-line are very good this year. He is making me better and as a result I'm making him better because I have to step up my game; it's back-and-forth."


"We're a more cohesive unit and everyone is on key," Alvis said. "We haven't had guys messing up and that's solid. The goal is to be as consistent as possible."


"It's finally time to be a football player and force your will on the other guy,"

I really hope this line surprises some people this year.
