In 2019, the Miami Hurricanes offensive line played more comparable to a set of doors than a wall as they allowed 51 sacks on the season. According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), last year’s offensive front was ranked 109th in run blocking and 110th in pass blocking as the Miami QB platoon was constantly under duress and the starting lineup allowed an unimpressive 140 pressures.
Even though the situation could only theoretically go up from the baseline mediocrity, there were a few other reasons to expect marked improvement in the offensive front in 2020. Namely, the Canes were returning a slew of experience, including all five 2019 starters.
