One of the most obvious deficiencies in last year’s 6-7 season was Miami’s offensive line - 51 sacks (3rd most nationally) and 140 QB pressures (2nd worst in NCAA) allowed, and a struggling run block that averaged 118.1 yards per game (120th out of 130 teams). But a significant reason as to why this unit had its struggles is because players with limited experience were being thrown into the mix. In particular, last season, Zion Nelson started all 13 games at left tackle as a true freshman, Jakai Clark got 12 starts at right guard, also a true freshman, and Redshirt freshman, John Campbell Jr.
