I dunno, don't all years have good players who make up mistakes for the bad ones? In 2014 it was Ty and Cajuste and Rector and (freshman) McCaffrey and Peat and Hogan. In 2012 it was Stepfan and Zach Ertz and Yankey. I'm not persuaded here.

You are of course correct that good players can to some degree cover the deficiencies s of less good players. However, in this case, I am talking about the fact the offensive line gets credit for the run yards. Probably unfairly, they don't get much credit for the passing yards. I would argue that Stepfan needed much more of a "crease" than CM or BLove do. They can play behind a less physical line and still make a lot of yards, albeit in a very uneven fashion. The other people you cite are either linemen themselves or involved more in the passing game.
CM has great vision. I would argue that most of the yards he made this year were not caused by hole opened by our line, but rather the hole opened by the defense flowing to where the hole was supposed to be (and mostly wasn't). If you look at the KState game and the SC game, this is pretty apparent.  We also got some holes caused by the defense flowing to contain what appeared to be wide run. We got one block (often by the fullback) and there is a running lane created by the defensive flow. We didn't cause it. The defense did. Credit good play calling/bad defense, but not the OL. In the games we lost, the defense mostly stayed at home. No cutback, no yards. This was especially clear against WSU. They just stood there (well, ok, some were down lineman) and we couldn't move them.
