The ravens throw a lot of different and elaborate blitz packages at teams. And our line only gave up 1 sack, and that didnt come until the 4th quarter. When Justin Houston was having his way early against Jonah Williams, the coaches changed the scheme very quickly and got him some help. And in the 4th quarter, when we needed to run the ball...and the ravens KNEW we were going to run the ball...our line still opened nice running lanes for Mixon and Perine.
I think it was a great job and needed some acknowledgement.
Was a rough first quarter but it was nice seeing them adapt as the game went on. The OL was very good in the 2nd half besides
the sack and a Prince penalty. But yeah as LSUfaninTN says, Burrow helped with his pocket awareness and might of made them
look better than they actually were in pass protection at times. Burrow wasn't doing this early in the year often.

True, also said the same thing about the LSU OL and kept getting Fred calling me out for it. Burrow can make an OL look better
than it actually is with his pocket awareness and ability to make players miss. Even though we ARE getting better week to week
and this is clear, it is also clear Burrow is getting better and much more comfortable out there.
