I didn't see all the games this year but my impression was Costello and the receivers were our more reliable drivers of the offense.Unfortunately, you are probably correct. This year, many hoped/expected that Little, Herbig, Sarell, Burkett, Hall plus the others would form a very good OL. Due to injuries and just plain under-performance, that didn't happen. It may be that the players we had were unsuited to our blocking scheme, but I don't hear anybody arguing that. The OL was average to good (probably more toward good) in pass blocking, so there is some talent there. Despite lots of discussion, I know of no clear reason(s) other than injury that it just didn't happen on the OL. Maybe it was personalities. Maybe it was lack of leadership from the players. I have no idea. Whatever it was/is, it needs to get fixed.
