It's the backs not the OL. This is atrocious by Taulpapa how do you not score here?

So you’re saying the offensive line is ELITE

Run blocking?

He is really slow to the hole and doesn't hit it with any purpose.
Someone pointed out that the blocking failures were primarily on the straight ahead runs down there. The OL did, and does, much better on the perimeter.
I saw creases that looked like automatic touchdowns open up on at least three run plays and the RBs blew them. Penix also could have punched in that run option play if Fataunu had sealed his man a little better or if Penix had the quicks to dodge him. The dude blew up the play by squeezing just far enough inside his block to reach an arm in and slow Penix before he could get outside the tackle.

Pass pro? definitely.
run blocking? they're average to above average.
Our running backs aren't great. Cam Davis could be good if he didn't trip over his dick all the time.

By far the best goal line back on the team. Agreed.
No sacks
It's genrally risky to run outside if the ol is allowing the ends any penetration. It's been a long time since I've seen a UW OL so efficient at sealing and preventing disruptive plays off the edge I'd speculate that the staff was still learning what it has with this OL, but will have a better plan inside the five in the future. They definitely need to stick with the spread.

11.5% pressure rate against two legit pass rushers in bogle/windmon on 43 dropbacks. Very good.

They're big and athletic. Run from spread formations and get people out of the box. They'll be able to seal edges/linebackers. Huff has done a good job recruiting.
Talapapa let a db come from a side angle, where he should have already had forward momentum before impact, hit him from said angle, and forcefully turn him away and drive him backward. He was all but in at the time of the hit and only needed to glance off and fall forward or simply overpower him for about 6 more inches. Just a pathetic effort.
That many tries up the gut should have worked though. Teams still successfully slam running backs into a goal line formation to this day. No excuses in my opinion.
