It's not like ND is bringing back all its experienced OL starters from last year.

Doesn't Stanford have better "raw material" to work with to develop an OL than ever before?  If by the last Summer scrimmage the OL is struggling, then concern is warranted.  Until then, there is nothing to see here on this topic.  Stanford fans should just move along and not worry about it.  the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends fans should get their hopes up, so when Stanford extends its streak of outplaying the Irish at the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends Stadium in October, their fans can say, "I thought when they said Stanford's OL was scary, that meant scary for them, not us!"

I think the point is that it's the largest area of concern right now. Most Stanford observers expect the OL to get better, the whole idea of OLs needing time to "gel" is extremely widespread for a reason, the question is just what level it'll get to. We can't have a league-average OL and still expect to be dominant.
