O-lineman with good footwork, quickness, and the ability to run and I'll take him every day over a 325 lb. behemoth who can't get out of his own way. Yes, there are 325 lb. linemen in college football who can also move...... but they play at the FBS level.
Will Pheohls, Levi Horn, Danny Kistler, just a few that played for bobby and were all over 325. I think if you look at the starting O-Line for Bobby in 2008-09 all were over 325. I am just going off memory.
I think the roster would disagree with you.
61 Jake Raynock Fr. OG 6-2 255 Billings, Mont. / Skyview HS
66 Russell Piette Jr. OG 6-4 310 Vancouver, WAsh. /
74 Jon Opperud So. OG 6-7 305 Portland, Ore. / Milwaukie HS
77 Terran Hillesland Sr. OG 6-7 323 Sidney, Mont. / Sidney HS
57 Charles Burton So. OL 6-5 315 Long Beach, Calif. / Milikan HS
TBD Kyle Hofmann Fr. OL 6-4 280 Orcas Island, Wash. / Orcas Island HS
72 Levi Horn Sr. OT 6-7 315 Spokane, Wash. / Rogers HS
And you sir are correct! I stand corrected! That it what I get for trying to follow my memory, I should have looked it up 1st. I looked at past rosters and found that only Danny Kistler was 335 and Will Phoels was only 315 in 2010 and Bobby was gone.
Unfortunately, one of those big tackles was absolutely abused by the Richmond DE, Lawrence Sidbury, in the 2008 national championship game! The early hit that Cole took to the thigh along with repeated DE pressure took our offense out of the game.
