Offensive Line

Well, well, well this offensive line can put up a solid performance, well sort of. Nebraska’s not the greatest defense on earth, but a good outing means a lot after such a rough year. This unit has something to build on. Now, maybe they can turn that into two great games to finish out the season.

Either way, this offensive line got a great push up front and opened some nice holes. The offense racked up 609 yards, and zero offensive turnovers. It was a total domination in the trenches from start to finish. Even when the backup offense stepped in, the O-Line paved the way well scoring a touchdown as well.

This front finally got back into the right frame of mind. It looked aggressive and violent like it should have all season. If they can play well against Maryland, there’s a shot they can regroup and heal up for the bowl game with some positivity.

Grade: B+
