Whose lines are better?

Do you see much difference in the tale of the tape? I sure don't.
Can you tell which team is which, without looking it up?
In the past, we didn't measure up. Now, we sure do.

Size wise we match up but Tennessee has legit proven guys on that Defensive line. As far as there offensive line they could be really good or meh, they got 4 new guys just like we do but they should be pretty good on O line too.

As someone who knows nothing i have a question. Why does it seem like you want your OT's to be taller and heavier than your guards?

Yes, that is the one group (TN D Line) that might make the difference.
But the other 3 units of both teams are full of transfers.

The idea is you want a long reach, and great length, so the end can't get around you. Long arms let you keep them away from your body, so they can't use hand technique to get by you (swim move, etc.). It's like in wrestling, you want to keep the other guy away from your body, and especially away from your legs.
