After Nebraska's 37-10 loss to Penn State, there was plenty of blame to go around for the defeat. However, a closer look at how each unit performed makes it clear where the most significant failures existed. PFF grades and other statistics indicate that the blame lies where the blame has lain most of the season, on both the offensive and defensive lines.
The offensive line has come under fire plenty this year. It's had problems protecting the quarterback often. And last night was no different.
Nebraska's offensive front was charged with 11 QB pressures. Those pressures led to only two sacks and one QB hurry on 45 drop backs, but the issue was more on how little Penn State's offense line was moved off the ball.
