Should we be worried about Villanova Football's offensive line?

In recent years, Villanova Football's offensive line has been among the best units on the team. Coach-in-waiting Mark Ferrante (who runs the OL) has curated the group to be a revolving door of talent. He's recruited spectacularly, and he encourages plenty of rotation which gets multiple players experience. This makes replacing injured and/or departing players a much easier task.

It's been a well-oiled machine. Until last year.

In 2015, Villanova finished dead-last in sacks allowed (30) in the CAA. A 5th place finish in rushing yards per game (185.8) wasn't awful, but definitely below the high standard the group had set in previous years.
