No. 1 Star – Offensive Line
Instead of singling out one individual, it’s only fitting to heap praise on the entire unit because it wasn’t just one player who played well. The whole line did.
Tyler Guyton and Savion Byrd had the two highest-rated pass-blocking performances per Pro Football Focus’s metrics. The offensive line gave up just five pressures on 37 dropbacks, according to PFF.
Bill Bedenbaugh entered fall camp with his starters in mind, and that never changed. He stuck by Walter Rouse, Savion Byrd, Andrew Raym, McKade Mettauer, and Tyler Guyton, and they put on a masterclass.
The youngsters that followed looked comfortable and confident and also delivered solid performances.
The Sooners rushed for 220 yards, and the quarterbacks never hit the ground when they dropped back to pass. That’s a great day for an offensive line.
