Pro Football Focus ranked Missouri’s offensive line 30th out of 127 possible teams in 2020, a respectable spot that most coaches would be thrilled with.
Still, Connor Bazelak was sacked 12 times last season. While not a daunting number, with how quickly Eli Drinkwitz gets the ball out of his quarterback’s hands, it should not be that high. On top of that, the rushing attack averaged a meager three yards per carry and ranked in the bottom third of the country with 135 yards per game. To make matters worse, Larry Borom, the most consistent and reliable member of the 2020 offensive line, is off to the pros.
