Props to the O Line. They represented on that last drive when we needed it the most. They got great push and made some nice holes for Sir Duke to run through! Finally put a game on ice when we needed it most.

No love for the O line from all you guys that have trashed Art Kehoe any chance you got? The O line helped Duke put this game away.

Very solid game by the O Line. Only allowed one sack and helped the team run for 200+ yards and 300 passing.

Yup, they had a very, very good day as a unit.

It was especially important with Steven's relative lack of mobility. Before the game, I was concerned about GT forcing him out of the pocket and getting hits on him. You have to think they wanted to get to him early and often.

Really nice job yesterday overall. And really, it's what I expect of them at this point.
 
McDermott was dreadful. Sucks to see.

Wheeler though, he should be the guy going forward without a doubt.
 
Good insight OP. Huge possession when we were up late by a TD and there was about 5 minutes to go. Coley made a obvious commitment to go with the run and the GT defense had no answers. These are the physical must have possessions you have to win at some point in close games. Our OL looked physical yesterday.

On a side note, Duke made some really tough yards between the tackles on that drive which the OL fed off of. Duke ran really well yesterday.

The O-line played a helluva game yesterday. I love how Flowers eggs defenders on and tells them to bring it before the snap!!!! The big uglies are running down field getting to second level blocks. We back!!!!
 
We need Flowers, Feliciano, Wheeler, Linder, Henderson on the field most of the time.

Henderson suspension noticeably hurt a few times in pass protection. Linder got beat bad for a sack once when he was playing RT.
 
Given Henserson's suspension, they played a great game. Linder was forced to play RT. Wheeler played RG. That's two-fifths of your line playing out of position. With the exception of that one sack and a few penalties, they were excellent.

Having a solid 5 OL is so important. If you're weak at one of those positions...it is really noticeable.

THIS is where we lost games in the past. The lead, the ball, and three and out city (sometimes with a 2 score lead, like UVA).

GREAT OL play, best of the year and maybe many years. And without Seantrel!
