Let me reiterate. The point is NOT about the skill of UAB's DL last year. If you all read it closely, you would understand that I was addressing the size reference that the other poster was discussing. The poster indicated that the "huge size difference" should translate to "easily 300 yards rushing." Well, that's the reason why I chose last year's OU game (just for example) as a means of disputing this claim that a larger size means success on the ground. It doesn't. In fact, if you talk to just about any line coach out there, speed and footwork are as important (if not moreso) than sheer size. If you're big, but so slow that you can't block out and stay in front of your man, are you really there?
