Offensive line

-

Beau Benzschawe­l, Wisconsin

(Pinstripe): Benzschawe­l makes the all-bowl team for a second straight season after leading a line that paved the way for Jonathan Taylor’s 205-yard rushing performanc­e in a 35-3 blowout of Miami. Wisconsin controlled the ball for nearly 40 minutes and rushed for 333 yards.

Jordan Budwig, Florida Internatio­nal (Bahamas): Budwig made his 50th consecutiv­e start in a 35-32 win over Toledo and capped a season in which the senior guard didn’t allow a sack. FIU gave up only eight sacks this season.

Andre Dillard, Washington

State (Alamo): The senior tackle and Associated Press All-America third-team selection provided enough pass protection to help Gardner Minshew throw for 299 yards in Washington State’s 28-26 victory over Iowa State.

Phil Haynes, Wake Forest

(Birmingham): The four-year starter led a line that helped Wake Forest gain 529 total yards in a 37-34 victory over Memphis. Although Wake Forest allowed two sacks, Haynes wasn’t responsibl­e for either one.

Jared Weyler, Minnesota (Quick

Lane): Weyler was Minnesota’s lone senior starter on offense for the bowl game and led an offensive line that featured two freshmen and a redshirt freshman. Weyler’s run blocking helped Mohamed Ibrahim rush for 224 yards as Minnesota beat Georgia Tech 34-10.
