Dave Wannstedt plans on playing this season with sub-300-pound offensive linemen.
According to the Associated Press, "The trend toward NFL-sized linemen is one Wannstedt doesn’t particularly like, so he is reversing it by going with offensive linemen who weigh less than 300 pounds. It’s a major switch in philosophy, given that Ohio State’s offensive line in last season’s national title game averaged 318 pounds... The decision to get leaner came after 285-pound defensive lineman Mick Williams was so quick off the line of scrimmage during spring ball, the offensive linemen had trouble containing him. It was the same problem Pitt had last season with linemen such as Terrill Byrd of Cincinnati and Eric Foster of Rutgers." Think this will work?
