With the Red apparently re-committing to its ground game, the offensive line certainly has its work cut out for the upcoming season. Last year’s group offered sufficient protection to quarterback Nathan Ford ’09 — it allowed 19 sacks, fourth in the Ivy League — while he accumulated the second-most passing yards in school history, and most in the league. However, it struggled to open up holes for running back Randy Barbour, now a senior, as he struggled to just 3.6 yards per carry (seventh in the Ancient Eight) and five touchdowns on the season.

The 2009 offensive line is anchored by returning starters Quentin Bernhard and Andrew Bohl, who will play left tackle and right tackle, respectively.
