THE FACTS ARE WASHINGTON WAS VOTED THE GREATEST OL IN CFB

Holy frick. I need crazy pills stat

“Their pass protection impressed me. Only a handful of sacks or pressures, and their ability to keep their shoulders square and remain on the same level and pass off stunts and games impressed me. They all seem to be pretty good at resetting their hands and can put the brakes vs bull rushes and power. Admittedly, they weren’t perfect this year and had a couple games late where the entire offense seemed to be a bit off, but Washington's offense quietly relies on - and is sustained by - their offensive line.”

“While they don’t run the ball as often as other teams, when they do run it, they more than get the job done, like in the Pac-12 Championship Game. They took over and successfully ran it on a very good Oregon front when it mattered. That “Gotta Have It” situation was the moment they won me over.”

“Pass pro is certainly not passive with this group. Reminds me a bit of the 2019 LSU winning unit. 71(LG Nate Kalepo) looks like the alpha, but none of them overlook an opportunity to set the tone. They are physical all around. Nasty, nasty group that’s really fun to watch.”

“It’s not just what they do, it's how they do it. They try to punish and demoralize when they play. I realize a lot of people are going to excuse it with their quick throw game, but when they needed Dylan Johnson to be the hammer, they hammered it down.”

“The strain and the attitude stand out. Not to take anything from any other units, but Washington had their ‘Moore Moment’ when they stepped up with everything on the line in the last ever Pac-12 championship. They knew what was at stake, and they stepped up and delivered. That’s what this award is all about.”

“They are enforcers. Not watchers. They’ll be tested mightily against a stout and athletic Texas front, but they’ll be up for that challenge and won’t back down from anyone for any reason, I promise you that. That’ll be a fair fight and the key matchup to that contest if you ask me.”
