As Michigan offensive line coach Ed Warinner tells it, the Wolverines are the best in the country in putting offensive linemen into the NFL. And while it was a weakness a few short years ago, now the maize and blue have not just one, but two All-Big Ten first-team offensive linemen.

Thus, when awarding the Hugh H. Rader Award, given to the team’s best offensive linemen, at the annual Schemmy Awards, the staff couldn’t pick just one player to earn the distinction.

Both men on the left side of the line, who are both of the aforementioned All-Big Ten first-teamers — Jon Runyan Jr. and team captain Ben Bredeson — won the award, as announced by Warinner at Crisler Center on Sunday night.
