College Football Week 5: Highest-graded offensive lines
OHIO STATE BUCKEYES
Ohio State is quickly rising the ranks of college playoff contenders, and their offensive line is the foundation of that ascent. In 2019, they own the third-highest team run-block grade in the country, but it was Week 5 where the unit particularly shined. The Buckeyes’ O-line paved the way for running back J.K. Dobbins and company as they averaged 4.3 yards before contact per attempt — the sixth-highest mark in the country in Week 5. This mark sent Dobbins on his way to 177 yards on the ground and 11 first downs.
While their run-blocking work was remarkable, their pass-protection almost matched that effort in that only one player surrendered multiple quarterback pressures (offensive tackle Joshua Alabi — 3). The player lining up alongside Alabi, Jonah Jackson, was one of the highest-graded pass-blocking guards in Week 5 (86.7), surrendering zero pressures and earning a perfect 100.0 pass-blocking efficiency rating. The Buckeyes’ offensive line ran only 29 passing snaps, but their pocket protection paired with their run-blocking prowess easily earns them a spot on this list.
