The Oklahoma offensive line needs to slow down the Georgia rush and keep Mayfield upright
We are hearing a lot about the Georgia defense and especially about the strength of the front seven, led by the Dawgs’ All-American linebacker Roquan Smith. Georgia is going to do everything it can to put pressure on Mayfield and disrupt his timing and accuracy. What we aren’t hearing much about is the strength of the Sooner offensive line, which is considered one of the best in college football this season.
How well the Sooner offense is able to produce against one of the nation’s best defensive units will be largely dictated by how well the Oklahoma O-line performs. The better the Sooners are able to run the ball and the more time Mayfield has to find and get the ball to the speedy OU wide receivers, the harder it will be for Georgia to slow down the high-octane Oklahoma offense and keep the Sooners off the scoreboard.
