Abbington, Strong, Crockett are all going to play in the 210-220 lbs range. That's not undersized.

Who claimed they were going to a power running game? If you're referring to the OL blocking scheme, its called Power Blocking. That means "see it and block it.". The other scheme is Zone Blocking.
A team can have the OL use power blocking (which is much simpler for the OL to learn and execute), but still use any offense it wants ie pro, spread etc. Or a team can use Zone Blocking on the OL and run any offense.
OL blocking scheme has nothing to do with the type of offense a team runs.

Undersized backs?

Augusta is the biggest guy on the team. After him, the next 6 are all on the OL and all over 300.
Pendleton 315
Bauer 310
Howell 305
Crawford 300
Cuellar 300
And with a full offseason to even add a few good pounds. That's not small.
Abeln, Rhodes and Adams all at 290.
Harris at 285 and I don't know if that was his weight coming into school or current.
Owen and Bailey's weights are undersized.

Well, you don't need a OL with a ton of weight to get a power running game. OL play has as much to do with strength and techniques than just shear size. Size doesnct hurt though. Size will wear down lineman, but being in the SEC, most teams have quality depth on the D-line so wearing them down takes a back seat to talent and strength and technique. The other aspect of a powerbrun game is the size of the backs. Mizzou has good size at the position now. You need backs that can break tackles at times, like on the goal line. I think Odom is going the direction of larger OL. I think the recruit from Illinois is over the 300 lb. mark as is I believe the juco transfer Howell. I can see the direction and I like it.
