LSU's section they basically don't mention the run game and focus entirely on total offense.
Alabama's qualifications are slightly more attuned to the offensive line, discussing 5+ yard runs and sacks allowed, as well as general rushing efficiency.
Oregon's and Ohio State's are much more focused on the run game, which I think most people would agree has a higher correlation to Oline success than the passing game (if the Oline can't open holes, the run game will go nowhere. A passing game can work around a poor Oline with quick passes and skill players making plays in space).
So, based on their qualifications, LSU would definitely win the award because they were the most productive offense overall in college football.
Seems a little stilted, but hey, whatever. The award doesn't really mean that much in the long term (Read: in the NFL) anyway. The best players will get drafted the highest and will have the most success in the NFL, irrespective of which unit they played with in college.
Thought so, thanks CJD. Think they ought to take into account more of the blocking than the Offense as a whole myself.
Funny how they leave out the sacks for LSU and mention them with Bama, sounds like Fred lol
