If the 2015 iteration of Washington State's football team rises out of the bottom tier in the Pac-12, it'll be on the broad shoulders of one of the better offensive lines in the conference. Despite losing a veteran quarterback and two top receivers -- including a Biletnikoff finalist -- fans and media are still bullish on Wazzu's offense next season. The hosses in the trenches up front are a big reason why.
Offensive line talk isn't as sexy as putting together pass game clips, or running back highlights, but big is beautiful and deserves some attention.

Neither Joe Dahl nor Gunnar Eklund were rated coming out of high school, dropping the star rating for the line as a whole to well below the conference standard.
