How do you judge the quality of a SEC OL?

It's easier to judge a skill position player or corp, you can look at passing/rushing/receiving yards (totals or game averages), TD's, INT's, Completion %, TargetsVsReceptions, yards per carry, etc...
Judging the quality of the OL's of a SEC team might be a little bit more subjective. However, there are stats that most teams or NCAA measure that may be looked at or utilized in some formula to develop a grading of that OL unit.
What are some of the measurable stats that you would look at to grade/judge an OL as a unit? Do you have a top 5 or top 3 stats you would look at, are they weighted differently?
I usually look at:
Sacks Allowed
TFL's Allowed
QBH's Allowed
Rushing Yards per Carry (avg)
I would like to see box scores break down the Penalty stats (I'm sure coaches do this already,) but I'd like to know how many of those penalties were False Starts, Offsides, etc...? I think knowing that would be another great stat used to judge/grade an OL.

What about ability to block each other?

Here is a great article from Bill Connelly that breaks down/ranks the quality of OL last year.

That guy gets it, but he's on a whole other level. Does he update his sheet weekly? That seems like it would take a lot of time, but it is very thorough and probably one of the best measurements of OL I've seen.

Do they go to Texas A&M?
If yes, then they're an All-American. If not, then not.

He puts that out at the end of the year. He does an advanced statistical breakdown like that for all of the units.
He's actually helped me get set up to chart all of the Arkansas games next year for something that I'm doing. He recently sent me his stat sheet that they use to track all of the games and it is crazy long and in-depth.
I was expecting something half the size when he agreed to let me have it. It was shocking to say that least and made me think twice about what I was wanting to do.
Definitely give him a follow on twitter however if you are a stats guy. He is always sending out stuff along those lines from his research.

I still think two guys on the same team blocking each other is worse than the butt fumble. That dude out weighed Sanchez by like 150 pounds at least and the OL for the jets was driven back into Sanchez. To me that's more understandable than two guys on the same team blocking each other... That's just pathetic.

The buttfumble was only as famous as it is because it's Mark Sanchez and he's a factory of lolz
