Bama O-Line vs ND O-Line
Jan 6, 2016, 8:45 PM

I remember hearing prior to the ND game that they had the best O-line in the country, I think we pretty much handled them. My question is how does Bama stack up vs ND in terms of the O-line. I know Bama is big up front but how athletic are they etc etc..

In my opinion the tide will be considerably better than ND up front. They always are big and tough. I we'll remember that miserable night in Atlanta.

They'll probably be drier.***

Run-blocking stats
Adjusted Line Yards: One of only two opponent-adjusted numbers on the page, this aligns with the ALY figure FO tracks for the NFL and is presented on a scale in which 100.0 is perfectly average, above 100 is good, below 100 is bad.
Standard Downs Line Yards per Carry: The raw, unadjusted per-carry line yardage for a team on standard downs (first down, second-and-7 or fewer, third-and-4 or fewer, fourth-and-4 or fewer).
Passing Downs Line Yards per Carry: The same unadjusted averages for rushing on passing downs.
Opportunity Rate: The percentage of carries (when five yards are available) that gain at least five yards, i.e. the percentage of carries in which the line does its job, so to speak.
Power Success Rate: This is the same as on the pro side -- percentage of runs on third or fourth down, two yards or less to go, that achieved a first down or touchdown.
Stuff Rate: Same as STUFFED on the pro side -- percentage of carries by running backs that are stopped at or before the line of scrimmage.
Pass-blocking stats
Adjusted Sack Rate: An opponent-adjusted version of a team's sack rate -- sacks divided by (sacks plus passes), presented on a scale in which 100 is perfectly average, above 100 is good, below 100 is bad.
Standard Downs Sack Rate: Unadjusted sack rate for standard downs pass attempts.
Passing Downs Sack Rate: Unadjusted sack rate for passing downs pass attempts.

...I got a headache. Does all that bode well or badly for us?

Lol. Sorry, I don't know how to dumb it down any further. Maybe one of the stat gurus, (i.e. tigerman1978 or the like), can process the data and provide a summary.

Both were Joe Moore award finalist, which is the award for the best OL. Bama won the award.
However, Bama's OL has struggled at times with penalties. It has gotten better the last 4-5 games.
