Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4467514, member: 1559"] I think what was very unusual this year was how durable the line was this season as the top 4 barely missed a snap. BL is correct that about 6 players saw significant playing time, but 12 OL (13 if you include Brown who played TE as he recovered) did see playing time this year. And, UConn had a really good line this year. If you look at PFF ratings for run blocking and pass blocking (which does include more than linemen) UConn ranked 27th for run blocking and 16th for pass blocking out of 131 schools. Also, here are the position ranks (min 50% of team snaps played) of the 5 starting OL: Haynes: #3 G Ofori-Nyadu: #8 G Senn: #37 T Guidone: #23 C Lundt: #132 T In other words, the OL played so well both individually and collectively why would you substitute in players that are not as good? Here are the snap counts: Senn: 742 Ofori-Nyadu: 742 Haynes: 736 Guidone: 717 Lundt: 605 Fortin: 268 Walker: 35 Stewart: 15 Pohahau: 15 Antolovich: 15 Barboza: 9 Shor: 6 Brown: 76 [/QUOTE]
