Grambling's offensive line the unsung heros of 2015

GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- A dynamic quarterback and arguably the conference's best wide receiver corps almost went to waste in 2014 due to Grambling's inability to consistently run the ball.

With nearly every offensive skill players back for 2015, the Tigers vowed to improve their physicality, improve their offensive line and improve their run game. It's worked wonders so far.

Once the offense's biggest weakness, Grambling's offensive line has easily become a position of strength and a key reason why the Tigers were able to roll through the Southwestern Athletic Conference with a 9-0 mark.

"They've been basically the unsung heros all year long. They've allowed us to really run the football effectively and keep (quarterback) Johnathan (Williams) upright and then allowing him to hand the ball off from time to time where he doesn't have to do as much running," Grambling coach Broderick Fobbs said. "That's been something that's been good for us this season."
