Was it because of Tot’s obsession with small running backs? Markeith “The Lizard” Cooper comes to mind. Could Demontray Carter have been a star behind a good line?

Also, it was Rick Trickett who was the OL coach. There are many criticisms of Slick Ricky, and he might even be going to hell, but run blocking was not something that was a historical issue with him. It was the egregiously bad pass protection that did him in at FSU. Trickett had very good run blocking lines all through his career.
