Golesh says they'll keep moving linemen around in the final four games. He also pointed to depth as a factor when the team got worn down in the fourth quarter.
“Yeah, you know, when we were in rhythm, I thought that group did a solid job.”

- Ward: no sacks allowed this season, two quarterback hurries
- Sacks allowed: 6 more than any other SEC team
