People on here tend to get pretty defensive when Harding is attacked for having terrible o-line play, and so far the best defense has been “He put 4 guys into the NFL.”
After some digging I came across a some starts that has broken down the o-line play.
Utah’s o-line last year ranked 112th in power yardage success rates, Cal ring a bell, and sacks allowed on passing downs- 81st.
This year is terrible across the board we all know that.
With Wilson and Booker, the o-line was great in short yardage situations (unsure how much of that was Wilson and Booker running the read option, or the o-line) but as a constant theme Utah ranked near the bottom of the fbs level under sacks allowed on passing down situations.
