Good reading between the lines but I agree that this situation with Burkett is very worrisome. With Burkett we have one of the strongest OLs in the country and therefore, one of the best offenses in the country.

Without an experienced, physical rock anchoring our OL as the “QB” - calling the formations, assignments and then physically competing - we might struggle.

I feel the same way. I have memories of how Stanford abused USC's frosh center in 2012 when Khaled Holmes was injured and unable to play. Stanford had 4 sacks and USC was 0-12 on 3rd down.

I think I am going to be anxious about the line play until Burkett is back in action.
