Fresh blood may be good for competing and trying hard but 44 college freshman, especially undersized ones, will get their asses kicked against a much larger opponent in their first game. This is why I said that 300 yards could easily be reached in this game.
Also, in the initial post it talks about the shift in how
MSU's OL blocks. If they are road grading off the snap, your DL probably has no shot in hell. They are being taught now to be aggressive out of the blocks so to speak. 300 pounds flying at you on the snap when you are only 250 is not going to result in good things for that 250 guy on most snaps.
