I wouldn't say they played "well". On Love's touchdown run, the pulling guard was so late getting there that Love just cut in front of him. That was a successful play despite the line, not because of it. On many of the other runs, Love would gain 7 yards post-contact on a five yard run. Love was consistently held in on pass protection even when Oregon wasn't blitzing because we needed the extra blocker.

The offensive line was better in the second half, but that was a very low bar to clear.
