rate them a C-/D+


They are up for the best offensive line in the country award and you give them this grade.

OL was easily a B+ this season. Campbell was elite, Jones was pretty good himself. Dellinger more than held his own. Frazier was improved from last year.

Turner was the only obvious weaker link, but he still was improved himself from previous years without a doubt. He just had some REALLY questionable few games where he looked like he didnt belong - Alabama being most prevalent. He also derped quite a few plays against MSU/Missouri just apparently forgetting the snap count multiple times this season. He got hit with 9 penalties this season which is absurdly high for a center. He also had some games where he just couldnt snap the ball properly which was weird (Consistently low snaps).

I understand that there are things that JD does to make an OL’s job easier but they also gave Daniels tons of time to throw on many occasions which must have really helped his decision making, which didn’t seem as good last year. This isn’t a zero sum game. Both can be really good.

…and they might not win the award but I think this years line was better than 2019, who had Joe Burrow making lightning fast decisions and could make something out of nothing on a regular basis with his arm.

I really believe this oline wouldn't look as good if we didn't have a mobile QB. JD is that guy.

JD would not look nearly as good without this offensive line. JD had all day to throw the ball.

If the left tackle hadn't folded Jaden would have finished the Bama game...so how do you grade that?

I know...he's a great LT but that one play went a long way to determine the season
