Money is right. Athleticism is 100% what the stuff is looking for over size and that’s what we should be going after especially in the 3-3-5. Some of the hand wringing over size is ridiculous and the use of games like ND and Pitt do not prove anything in terms of size. The DL, already thin coming into the season, was running on 6x guys in that included multiple freshmen throughout our toughest stretch.

The lack of depth and experience in the rotation was the issue and had very little to do with size. Also, citing Steve Linton as an example of why size hurts is also ridiculous. He was incredibly disruptive on passing downs and was obviously never going to play in running situations until the rotation thinned out so much. Linton is 220 soaking wet and could never put on the weight. That was not the staff’s choice. The 3-3-5 is all about having the depth, speed, and athleticism in the rotation to outlast bigger, slower, and less athletic offensive lines.

Just give it a rest.
