injured (and still somewhat inexperienced).
Jaren may have had limited game experience when he took over in 2021 but he had been in the program 4 years...with some starting experience.
There's no great way to compare how good an OL was one season vs another and I appreciate you trying...was just trying to point out additional variables. Better RBs lead to better YPC; different QBs can lead to better or worse Sacks Allowed...so does competition level (and I mean that both in the aggregate and at the individual player level; one stud pass rusher can get 3-4 sacks in a game; I know WE don't think that's possible given our defense, but it's true!).
