As some posters have already alluded to, it was a classic demonstration of why you can't run a good offense if your o-line is hurting. Even the best QB (and Mahomes is certainly right up there) can do nothing if he's running for his life on more than half the plays. I always refer to Walter Payton's rookie year when he could barely average 3 yards per carry because the Bears' line was so bad that year. You could tell he was a great back even then because he was often making those 3 yards after being hit in the backfield.
If Anderson continues to make progress juicing up the NU o-line, our position coaches and OC will suddenly look a whole lot smarter.
