Didn't even realize at the time, but it's crazy that during our final, clinching, 90-yard drive we had three starting linemen out. It looks like the middle was Johnson, Bales and Lechner, whereas Herman, Allen and Carlotta started the game in those spots.
I remember a time, not so long ago, when 5 guys would go the whole game, unless someone got hurt, because there was such a huge drop off to the second team, and when there weren't even enough linemen to have a spring game. People were wondering when, if ever, Ohio would have a decent offensive line. Now the depth is such that you can lose two all-Mac tackles, and not miss a beat, and pull two other starters that could be all-Mac, and still drive the length of the field on a quality defense.
