KSU OL article...

I'll give them props for being the offensive line with the weirdest names.....

Does this spell extra danger on the road for a young/inconsistent defense and a rowdy KSU crowd? folks need to remember OU played these guys in Norman, not on the road or a neutral site.

It's interesting that they are graded so high yet have pretty pedestrian stats. A 4.8 yard avg per rush (same as Texas), middle of the pack in sacks given up, and 115th in total yards. The other teams in the top 10 have much better stats, especially yards per rush.
 
They don't come across as a line that is worthy of a top 3 ranking. I probably wouldn't put them in the top 25. But maybe they will surprise me.
 
Maybe they are ranked high because of talent and they don't use a gimmicky hurry-up scheme and are more NFLish? Iowa is on the list and they got stoned by the FCS champs and had no running game at home.
 
Didn't look that impressive in Norman. Had some drives after OU ahead by 2 TDs and decent protection but not overpowering. Just run the QB, don't make mistakes and pray for turnovers from the other guys. Worked in 2012 and 2014 in Norman but not last week.
