This year.
6-5, 322; 6-7, 375; 6-4, 292; 6-6, 326; 6-5, 335.
Add in Mang 6-7, 262 and Elmore 6-0, 286.
That’s a big group by any standard.
Add in that other than Ellis and Mang, these are experienced 4th, 5th, 6th year players. That is very important for this program.
One thing that hasn’t been considered is that because of injuries this group has hardly played together. They have gone through spring (other than Bliech) and fall together with Schmidt in year two. We have only seen brief glimpses of what they can do as a unit.
There are two related concerns, health- there are guys with significant injury history - and proven depth. But if this line does stay healthy they will be the best since John Flannery was on campus.
The one big weakness they need to fix is pass protection. I expect coaching, experience, cohesion, and health to improve that performance.
In the run game with Tucker and Shrader they have so much to choose from.
This to me is an under discussed advantage.
