Iowa has won 2 of last 3 in Evanston, but lost 4 of last 5 against Northwestern. How will 2021 play out and will Iowa's OTs step up in 2021, after losing two solid players from last year at tackle?
He recorded an 81.4 PFF grade that led all true freshman offensive linemen by over six grading points. The ferocious Ohio State defensive line did make him look like a first-year starter, though, as he posted a 21.1 pass-blocking grade and allowed eight pressures. But in the rest of his outings, Skoronski looked advanced for his age. Excluding that Big Ten Championship game, he earned an 87.4 PFF grade. He’s a prime “breakout to elite” candidate for 2021.
By the way, Ohio State has two Top 2 OTs to help mend the loss of QB Justin Fields in 2021.
