“I thought they played phenomenal,” Smith said of the offensive line. “The way they played, we can win any game we play. I think our offensive line is getting better and better. We have some young guys out there stepping in and stepping up. I thought (Seahawks OL) Sataoa (Laumea) played.” Great game, and then obviously getting “Abe” (Seahawks OL Abraham Lucas) back was a benefit to our offense. They have to keep the standard, so they have to keep it. “

Smith added: “I thought the pass protection was great. Like you said, (there were) only two hits and no sacks. Whenever you’re sitting there as a quarterback and you’re not getting touched, you can go through those reads and your clock is a little slower because you know these guys are going to keep up. I thought (Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan) Grubb called a great play, but I thought the line got us through this game and we’re going to need it down the stretch.”

Laken Tomlinson said the game felt “fantastic.” “Anytime you get over 100 yards (rushing), you know the offensive line is working,” he said. “Really proud of the boys, everyone rose to the challenge this week and put up the yards.”

Sticking to the game plan, communicating and making adjustments helped the team achieve victory on Sunday. “The guys did a great job on the sideline making adjustments. Kudos to Coach (Scott) Huff for really bringing us together and getting us to the right spots. I think we played a really good game together as an offensive line.”
