When I was looking for Dizon's tackle stats, I came upon the OL stats.
Since this has always been one of my favorite OL stats, here are the ratios of pancake blocks/play for the OL so far:
Maiava - 1 pancake every 5.44 plays
Miller - 1 every 7.16 plays
Sanders - 1 every 9.18 plays
Harrison - 1 every 10.53 plays
Polumbus - 1 every 11.59 plays
Palazzi - 1 every 12.88 plays
Head - 1 every 14.20 plays
In addition, Maiva and Miller have had their best games against the best teams CU has played. Maiva had 12 pancakes against OU. Miller had 8 last week against KjSU. Miller's highest game grade was against OU. Maiava has 3 games with 10+ pancakes. He has only played in 4 games total.
These two seem to be on a whole nother level than the rest of the OL. Miller has made some freshman mistakes (2 QB pressures, 1 sack allowed, 2 penalties), but on the whole they are definitely an upgrade to the OL. Miller is just a mountain out there and Maiava plays with an intensity not seen on the OL for quite a long time. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Tau is there with him. Bring the pissed off attitude back!
I'm excited to see the direction the OL is going. When you have a dominant OL and DL, the rest of the game gets a lot easier.
