FIU Football: 2020 Preview - Offensive Line
Photo by Samuel Lewis/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesWith under two months till the season opener against Jacksonville State, here’s the offensive line outlook in our position-by-position series on the 2020 FIU Panthers.
In 2018, the offensive line was nothing short of outstanding.
The unit allowed only eight sacks, which placed them among the top-10 in fewest sacks allowed by an FBS team, en route to the Panthers leading Conference USA in points per game.
Last season, the group again kept FIU quarterbacks off the turf, giving up 14 sacks - good enough for a top-five finish. However, a closer look at the details shines a spotlight on a unit that clearly wasn’t as effective as the year prior.
