I've read all of the line grades, accolades and preseason awards.
153 starts.
Highest pass-blocking grade. Highest run-blocking grade. Preseason All-American. Preseason All-PAC-12.
Those are wonderful recognitions.
Yet on the field, the Ducks had their lowest per-game rushing total in 10 years. They were 5th in the conference in giving up sacks. Against Michigan State, 37 rushing yards, 203 total yards, 7 points. About as awful an offensive performance as we've seen since the UCLA game in 2007.
If they really are one of the best offensive lines in the country, this is their opportunity to prove it.
Oregon doesn't stand a chance of competing against Auburn unless this group does a strong job against a mean, physical opponent.
