If you followed the logic, I wouldn't have to be explaining this... but oh well. The reason the fresh blood is good is because it means a totally new attitude. UAB has had a loser leading this program for more than a decade. Losing (much like winning) is infectious.
Now as for why I brought up last year in that respect is not to say that we have those same players, but to point out the fallacy in the assumption that a larger OL means success in the ground game. Oklahoma's OL was much larger than our DL last year and no offense, but Oklahoma had a much better RB... and they only got 143 yards against us. That's not to say
MSU can't get more, but the assumption that a size difference of any amount means 300 yards rushing is easily attainable is what I challenge.
So the point is not that we'll have that DL playing for us this year. That's not the case and I think that point has been discussed ad nauseum. The point of that statements was to emphasize the faulty logic being applied by the poster above in saying that a OL that much larger should translate to 300 yards on the ground.
