Before the season, in our preseason roundtable post, I remember distinctly thinking about the offensive line in practice. Its struggles, how it was being beaten by the defense, I remember thinking about how it could undo the improvements to the skill position. Even though I believed this team could get to where it needed to be, I remember thinking one or two steps the other direction would be a disaster.
Even at the time, I realized the margin for error is so slim in the ACC, that one or two missteps in one direction could unravel the entire season.
