College foots: Average weight of starting OL and DL?

[Tout]

Is anybody out there tracking this or have a link?
Thanks in advance.

[Beyond the Bets]

Probably wouldn't be hard to figure out. Can probably take a stab at it early next week unless someone beats me to it.

[Tout]

Thanks, BTB. No sweat. I'm just being lazy and was looking for an ez way out. Someone's doing it. I'll bet it shows up in the next couple weeks. Hmmm....Guess that's my first prediction.

Should just be able to pick up Phil Steele's mag and go team by team.

This should confirm reports that more fat/obsess people leave here in the South. Yeah we eat good and a lot of it down here.

[LOLstradamus]

Curious - how is this info being used? Potential mismatches against DL's? A lot of this varies simply based on the type of offense a team runs.

[Tout]

I look at it this way Diddy...OL outweighs DL by 35+lbs or better with a quality passing or running game is something I want to know about. Doesn't mean it's a play, but the lean is on and I'll go deeper. Sometimes, lighter, faster DL may be the lean because the OL they play are lazy slobs without quality offensive skill players. It totally depends on the match-up and their recent rack record. Imo, It's part of the arsenal that needs some considerations.

[LOLstradamus]

Agreed - I'm always a proponent that more data is always better. I was just curious as to how it was being viewed outside of potential mismatches.
