Offensive Line

It was another good performance from the offensive line.  There are four games left in the season, but this position could be the most improved unit of the team.

Only one sack was allowed on the day and the line opened up huge holes for the running backs to run through.  One of the Boilermaker strengths is their defense line, but the Lions did not have many problems up front.

When you have over 500 yards of total offense, you are doing something right up front in the trenches.  Credit also goes to offensive line coach Matt Limegrover for how he has turned around this unit.

Grade: A
