Second Best OL Ever to Don the Purple

[SciCat]

Even though I go way back before 1995, my 2nd best is more recent.

Taylor and O'Dwyer are excellent choices. As is Ashmore. My top OLM since the late 70s are Hinton, Ashmore, Taylor, O'Dwyer, Essex, Strief and any one member of the 95-96 OL units you prefer. Those guys in 95-96 were the best units by far.

That 2004 team was loaded with NFL talent on the oline (Strief, Ndukwe, Ulrich, Essex), not to mention the Dline (Castillo, Cofield, Howard), yet somehow how the whole was less than the sum of the parts (6-6 finish).

Has to be BigZ. All American. NFL Starter.

No one else since Hinton comes close.

We had talent, but we had Colby too.
