The entire offensive line has controlled its guys for most of the season, a big reason why IU has the Big Ten’s best scoring offense at 43.9 points with a national-best 59 touchdowns. In addition, the line has allowed pressure on just 22.5 percent of dropbacks this season, seventh best in the FBS despite getting blitzed on 31.9 percent of dropbacks. The line has five Big Ten games in which it didn’t allow a sack.
The result -- Smith and the rest of the starting offensive line of Mike Katic, Bray Lynch, Trey Wedig, Drew Evans and now Tyler Stephens are one of 10 semifinalists for the nation’s Most Outstanding Offensive Line Unit for 2024 through the Foundation of Teamwork and the Joe Moore Award.
(I confident that I read elsewhere Alabama and OSU also made the list).
