The past two seasons, Fresno State had a veteran to anchor its offensive line. First, Aaron Mitchell. Then, Micah St. Andrew and Markus Boyer. A senior started at center in 2017 and two fifth-year seniors started at center last season, St. Andrew taking the first five games before moving to right guard with Boyer moving into the lineup.
They made the line calls, made the checks. They were critical pieces in the development of an offense that went from averaging 329.3 yards and 17.7 points per game in 2016 to 392.9 yards and 27.1 points in ‘17 and to 421.
