That's huge.
It all depends on what kind of offense you run though. We still run a spread, but we have many more power elements than we had in the past and this is as big as our OL has ever been. When we were in the Big12 most of our guys were 290-300, but that's a ballerina league.

I'd go so far as to say it was a rarity if someone hit 300. I'd bet we hit 280 more often than we hit 300. But like you said, much different game there. I remember all the work our guys did between the 1st and 2nd years in the SEC. I think the line learned fast, they had to be bigger and faster. I think on average, they ALL put on 20 additional pounds at least. I remember seeing that the first time and going holy shite. They're doing work. Not happy with the first year.

The general trend is to get bigger even in the ballerina leagues. Oregon's line will be as big as it's been in the spread era as well. Defenses have adjusted to the pace and offenses have to adjust.
