No MAC offensive line has undergone more of a transformation since 2020 than the unit residing in Buffalo.
Just two years ago, the Bulls were one of 11 semifinalists for the Joe Moore Award for the nation’s best offensive line. At the time, Buffalo built up a reputation of dominating in the trenches. In the pass protection department, the Bulls allowed just one sack in their final eight games in 2019 and one sack across an entire 7-game 2020 campaign. In the run blocking realm, the line paved the way for the All-MAC running back duo of Jaret Patterson, who led the FBS in rushing yards per game in 2020, and Kevin Marks, who also averaged over 100 yards per game that season.
