After returning all five starters from the 2020 season, expectations were high for offensive line coach Jim Michalczik's group in 2021 and there's no question they met those expectations in a big way.
As an offense, the Beavers went as the offensive line went as the running game anchored by BJ Baylor, and supported by Deshaun Fenwick and Trey Lowe was the focal point of what made everything go offensively for OSU.
It was the play of the offensive line that paved the way for Baylor to lead the Pac-12 in rushing and the Beavers to rank third in the conference in rushing yards per game, and their stout play was a big reason why OSU ultimately ended up winning seven games.
