Every production line (industry) has a 'bottleneck'. That means that when everything flows well, one point is the thing that holds the line from going gang busters. Every production/assembly line has one. Using that simile, the Buckeye offense has an elite WR group, a much better than average RB group, and a QB that produced an almost 70% success ratio. That leaves the OL as the bottleneck. Everyone above has tabbed the OL as the problem, and yeah, Bowen's the figurehead, and yeah, the players have to execute. Heck, we've seen OL players get replaced, and then drafted by the NFL! And they practice against a darn good DL. Lack of talent? Everyone of them are very serviceable. Superstars, nope. Everyone has their flaws. Need better coaching? Hard to say. Teamwork? Chemistry? Injuries? Have zero answers, but hope they perform well enough to get the job done, keep Sayin upright, and give the WRs time to break free. And let us not forget to open holes for the RBs and get to the second level. An early Monday rant
