Few things stifle an offense quite as much as bad offensive line play, and the offensive line play specifically from the trio of Cayden Green, Connor Tollison, and Cam’Ron Johnson burnt the Tigers against Oklahoma. The issue has persisted all season, and it was even more apparent with a less-mobile Drew Pyne at the helm of the offense.
Look, this article could be about Drew Pyne not being that good in the first half or the offensive play calling being extremely conservative in that half against the Sooners, but the reality is no offense or quarterback can succeed throwing in the pocket with the kind of up the middle pressure Missouri gives up.
