So when Ramsey passed for the most yardage In games 2, 3, and 4....the Oline already was down?
They got healthy by game 5 and 6 when Penix came back, then were hurt again by 7 and 8 when Peyton lead?
By game 9 they were good again?
The discussion is about sacks. Or, at least was, until you tried to introduce some other stat to support your narrative. Ramsey passed for 162 yards in game 3 - not sure what you're talking about.
One thing you can't refute is that the OLine when Ramsey played was not the same OLine that started the year. And if you think the OLine protected Ramsey well against Nebraska, Michigan, and Tennessee, you're watching different games than I did.
It's really kind of a joke that anyone compares Ramsey and Penis in terms of sacks when Ramsey played against far better competition. Everyone who uses that argument conveniently leaves that part out.
But just to review:
BSU - Penix 326 yards, 1 TD (0 sacks)
EIU - Ramsey 226 yards 2TDs (0 sacks); Penix 197, 2TDs (0 sacks)
O$U - Ramsey 162 yards, 0TDs (5 sacks)
UCONN - Ramsey 247 yards, 3TDs (1 sack)
MSU - Penix 286 yards, 3TDs (1 sack)
Rutgers - Penix 282 yards, 3TDs (0 sacks); Ramsey 15 yards, 0TDS (0 sacks)
Maryland - Penix 193 yards, 1TD; (0 sacks); Ramsey 141, 1TD (1 sack)
Nebraska - Ramsey 351, 2TDs (2 sacks)
Northwestern - Penix - 162 yards, 0TDs; Ramsey 108, 1TD (2 sacks)
PSU - Ramsey 371, 1TD (2 sacks)
Michigan - Ramsey 217 yards, 0TD (3 sacks)
Purdue - 337 yards, 3TDs (5 sacks)
Tennessee - 227 yards, 0TDs (4 sacks)
So, 9 sacks in the last 2 games. 12 sacks in the last 3.
Please explain why anyone would think the OLine improved during the year. I'm not seeing it.
