I played on the offensive line in high school and know very well that credit is always given to the running back and the offensive line is seldom recognized, unless the averages are low. When you face a defense like clemson, its not always about the average yard per carry. Feeding Clemson on our runs up the middle all first half made them bite on our reverse by Hey-BayBay in the second half. THAT carry was the longest run of the game, and one of the longest runs racked against up against Clemson ever. Give the big boys a break, our QB has hardly felt Chris Long pressure all year.

Thinking our offense should be getting 500 yards a game is a bit of a rash claim but I do agree that the O-line has been playing decent. I think what Ralph is alluding to is the greatness that he, and many others, thought would be seen in the trenches this year. It is very rare that you can start 5 seniors on the line all of which have received ample amounts of playing time previously. Maybe, hopefully, as we get into the ACC schedule a bit deeper we will see something special.

I think the O-line has been doing a wonderful job so far. It is just the fact that Maryland isn’t executing. Scott should be running 200 a game while Turner should be throwing for 300 but we are Maryland. Curse of the QB like the ’skins and Ravens.
