Barring the use of advanced analytics, it’s difficult to quantify offensive linemen. But the numbers speak for itself when evaluating the Buffalo Bulls’ unit in 2019 and 2020.
Anchored by offensive tackle Kayode Awosika, Buffalo forcefully dominated opponents in the trenches in every facet of the game. Whether blocking for the run or protecting the quarterback, the Bulls fielded an elite unit on every snap.
In the ground game, Awosika led the charge for a rushing offense which produced 287.1 yards per game (third in FBS) and 4.6 touchdowns per game (first in FBS) in 2020. He assisted All-American running back Jaret Patterson in producing the nation’s highest rushing yards per game average, paving the way for 301 and 409-yard performances by Patterson in back-to-back weeks.
