After a rough 0-3 stretch in the SEC, the Texas A&M coaching staff has been talking about switching up every position on offense, including quarterback. While Kenny Hill has certainly fallen off from where he was at the start of the season, he’s not entirely to blame; the offensive line in front of him has been a letdown.

The Aggies have been churning out NFL talent along the offensive line for the last two years, with multiple players getting chosen in the first round after protecting Johnny Manziel. Most assumed there was at least one surefire top-10 pick on this year’s roster in left tackle Cedric Ogbuehi, while center Mike Matthews and right tackle Germain Ifedi were considered good bets to be playing on Sundays in the near future. While the front five still has plenty of talent, they simply haven’t played up to it.

Hill has certainly been inaccurate during the Aggies’ losing streak, and some of that is on him. He has a habit of throwing from awkward angles and doesn’t always position himself well. He’s also had to make many of his throws rushed and on the move because of pressure he’s felt, which goes on the offensive line. Hill is a pro-style quarterback, not the freelancer Manziel was, and having to hurry has hurt him.

Kevin Sumlin and Jake Spavital shouldn’t hesitate to shuffle their line if they can’t protect Hill, Kyle Allen or whoever else lines up in the backfield. The interception totals Hill piled up in the last three SEC games (6 total) are not all on him; the offensive line shoulders the responsibility as well. Just as they’ll shoulder the responsibility to help get the A&M offense back on all cylinders.
