Totally agree on Mellen ideally matching up against a smaller more shifty attack, but I think there have been some encouraging signs this year. He did a really good job on Sam Cleveland against Colgate after he beat Bomberry a few times in the first half. Cleveland was quite big and relied heavily on using his size and strength and Mellen was able to shove him off. Mellen also did a good job against Matt Moore who is also fairly big and likes to use his body. Mellen is also super jacked for his size. He is clearly a weight room animal and has never been laid out on a bull dodge or anything like that. A big part of Spencers game is his quickness and footwork, which mellen should have no problem with. He doesn't just play like Tehoka for 60 minutes.

My fear is that it goes the way Firman vs Ben Reeves went, where Reeves seemed tall enough to just act like Firman wasn't there and ripped corners right in his face. I'll have to see if there is any footage of spencer owning a smaller D-pole in that fashion.
