The offensive line unit possesses the most important task in football. They are responsible for protecting the quarterback in the passing game and setting up holes for the running back to run through on rushing plays. The Hoosiers offensive line struggled in 2022. They managed to record 1,330 rushing yards as well as 2,609 passing yards, which doesn’t compete in the Big Ten. Their line gave up 38 sacks and had a net loss of 294 yards. Both of those ranking bottom two in the Big Ten. Last December the Hoosiers hired long-time Wisconsin assistant Bob Bostad as their new offensive line coach and made a handful of changes to their line for the 2023 campaign.

The Indiana University football offense was, by all accounts, less than perfect last season. Part of that certainly had to do with QB play, ground attack, and receivers. The bigger picture, and perhaps the reason behind it all, was the offensive line. Indiana’s OL finished 119th in the nation in line yards per carry and 91st nationally in sack rate, putting the team near the bottom of the list in stats related to both pass and run blocking. Offensive line coach Darren Hiller said he’s seen serious improvement among the OL room as apposed to a year ago, especially in how consistent they are.
