Ole Miss' offensive line wasn't one-size-fits-all in Week 1
Summary
-
Ole Miss tackles Terez Davis and Connor Howes graded better in zone than gap blocking against Louisville, at 80.9 versus 72.5 and 75.8 versus 57.9 respectively in the article's PFF splits, which are a one-game personnel-fit signal rather than a confirmed long-term tendency.
-
Ole Miss guard Patrick Kutas also favored zone in the cited grades at 70.1 versus 57.5 for gap, whereas Delano Townsend graded better in gap at 61.5 versus 56.0 for zone, showing that the line's best blocking concepts were not uniform in the opener.
-
Ole Miss tight end Luke Hasz was described by the report as fully healthy and graded 64.8 in gap blocking versus 54.6 in zone, making his blocking usage another potential personnel-package consideration rather than an announced scheme change.
-
Ole Miss receiver Horatio Fields led the offense with an 89.0 overall run-blocking grade and graded strongly in both scheme types, but he played nine fewer run snaps than Davis and his receiver assignments are not directly comparable to offensive-line work.
