Man, that elite OLine looked like a bunch of ugly 12 year olds vs the D Taylor

How many years has their line been playing together and how many years have we been beating their asses?
I saw that typo on the graphic. I laughed my butt off because he had literally just made the point that we didn't have a single OL over 300 lbs. I found that amusing for some reason.bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 7:02 amI have said many times that typical "big" G5 offensive lines are usually just fat and slow. If a 6'5" 300 lb offensive lineman is really that good he is probably on a P5 team. The commentators made reference to the fact that we don't have the same size linemen but it didn't matter. Did anyone notice when one of the announcers talked about our line and they put up the graphic we had, I believe a 398 lb dude?
I know that was tongue-in-cheek, and I have given him a hard time for playing up the home team (that happens with young announcers who spend more time with the home coaching staff), but considering where he is fr where he came, I’m happy for him. Just give the visiting team some credit next time — unless that next time is Halloween night at KBS.
Easy now, our Apps have a few of those big fellas...headlined by 6-5, 305 Vic Johnson. But no 398 types!bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 7:02 amI have said many times that typical "big" G5 offensive lines are usually just fat and slow.

I really don't put Vic in the big, fat and slow category.asu66 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 1:20 pmEasy now, our Apps have a few of those big fellas...headlined by 6-5, 305 Vic Johnson.

He is big, but not the other two.asu66 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 1:28 pmHe's none of those three.bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 1:23 pmHe'aI really don't put Vic in the big, fat and slow category.asu66 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 1:20 pmEasy now, our Apps have a few of those big fellas...headlined by 6-5, 305 Vic Johnson.

That's him. Thanks for the answer. I couldn't locate a roster for that time period.PoplarHillApp wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 2:06 pmKevin FarkasHighPointApp wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 1:56 pmDon't know why this popped into my head.
