Baylor, the defending B12 champ also has a great O-Line coach, seen as a leading O-Line guru. And we beat them in the trenches in a slugfest despite this “talent gap”.

Hats off to BYU coaching up their DL. Our DL may not be great, or even good after injuries, but anyone who thinks BYU doesn’t coach up the DL is misinformed. We brought in Jan for extra attention to the DL and our recruiting has been improving.
