The big, the bad, and the ugly-- North Texas has faced big O-Linemen before. If we were sumo

wrassling, I would be concered. Big ol guys like this are slow, and less mobile. So, if our DL guys

can get around these guys, slip under 'em, and fake 'em out on the DL play, the DL will really

mess up the zero u game plan, sack and harrase their new QB, and disrupt the pass/run game.

It can be done! The NT defense is quick and smart. Adapt, improvise, and over come! Oooh-Rah!

I think my biggest concern is that their defense practices against those guys. If they can get by them what are they going to do to our inexperienced line.

[edcollopy]

that's a great point...these guys on offense are practicing against a top 10 defense everyday...we'll look like high school vasity to them.....unless our defensive line holds their ground...if they get manhandled our lb's are in for a looooong day.

If all our DL tries to do is "get around" the OU OL, it will be an extremely long day.

And our DE going against him is 6'4" 243. Sure hope he can speed rush.

[foutsrouts]

At least our DL's are similar in size and our Center is bigger than theirs. Hell, I could find a positive in a pile of monkey dung.

[pollock]

a 350 lb tackle? jeez.

You could put my grandmother behind that line and they'll still rack up 35 points.
