The offensive line performance dropped off substantially after Corey Linsley went out of the game.

To be expected. Cory is a veteran guy and the "Captain" on the OL. Boren is still young and developing as a Center. The positive is that Boren got lot's of playing time which will only help him next year as he competes for a starting position.

No question about any of that; just noting, really, how important Linsley is to the team -- not necessarily obvious coming into the season.

Time for Jacoby to start learning how to snap the ball at 3 different angles.

When re-watching the B1G Championship game I noticed how Boren kept getting to the second level and taking on the UW LB's. I look forward to him taking on #33 as tOSU seeks to move the ball on the ground in the SB.

cajones

that looked like one heckuva injury and playing across from two dudes averaging like 345 lbs...
so he staggers off while yelling... tape it... put a cast on... break it off... but get me back in this game

Heart of a lion... Love the development of this entire offensive line... From goats to heroes, these guys are becoming my favorite team of my lifetime. One more boys... Get rested up, get healthy, and we will rush for 300+.

Is it too late for Mrs. Boren to have another son or two?

I hope there are no lingering effects to his ankle injury and is full go for the NCG.

Whether he's 100% or not, Jacoby will be full go.

Truth.

I swear you can hear him yell "fuck these pussies" as he's being walked off the field with the trainers. You see him going to turn around and address the offensive line and you can hear him say something
