I am really perplexed as to where people get the idea that Miami just outclasses us in the trenches, but our skill equalizes us. It’s straight up false. Miami’s offensive line has been nothing but mid for most of the year in the run game, averaging 4.3 YPC, and have given up more sacks than OSU against significantly worse defenses. Their DL is elite, but we still have a better overall rushing and total defense, in every metric. The only stat they lead in is team sacks, padded by bad teams and our tendency to not blitz. I would take our line over theirs on both sides of the ball, and stats back that up.
