How every B1G offensive line ranked according to Pro Football Focus

The 2019 college football season is over the B1G, with the final game being played on January 2. And with almost everyone else’s season completed, Pro Football Focus has taken on the task of grading all 130 FBS offensive lines from the 2019 season.

Offensive line play was a strength for a lot of B1G teams this season, particularly at places like Ohio State and Wisconsin, both teams that ran the ball extremely well in the 2019 campaign. But which teams played the best and which struggled the most in the trenches?

PFF has the answer. Six B1G teams ranked inside the top 20, with three coming in the top 10, as well. Four teams struggled up front, ranking No. 100 or lower.

The formula incorporated the grades for each offensive lineman who played a majority of the snaps, a team’s rotation at each position, strength of schedule, and number of positive and negative plays, as graded by PFF.

Here’s where all 14 B1G teams ranked:

• No. 4: Ohio State Buckeyes
• No. 6: Iowa Hawkeyes
• No. 8: Wisconsin Badgers
• No. 11: Illinois Fighting Illini
• No. 14: Penn State Nittany Lions
• No. 16: Michigan Wolverines
• No. 45: Minnesota Golden Gophers
• No. 47: Northwestern Wildcats
• No. 87: Indiana Hoosiers
• No. 93: Nebraska Cornhuskers
• No. 110: Rutgers Scarlet Knights
• No. 114: Michigan State Spartans
• No. 115: Purdue Boilermakers
• No. 118: Maryland Terrapins
