One area that broke down for Rutgers last season was their offensive line, which allowed an NCAA-record 61 sacks and playing a major part in the team's offensive struggles. Offensive line coach Kyle Flood hopes to get the Scarlet Knight line back on the right track this season, and doing so will obviously help the offense as a whole.
The line play last season stunted the growth and productivity of Rutgers offensively, leading to Mohamed Sanu lining up at quarterback more often that he probably should have (he seemed to be the best at running for his life). That should change with experienced players such as fifth-year senior Desmond Stapleton (right tackle) leading the way.
