......a roster of undersized backs and o-linemen? Look at their roster and maybe somebody can explain it to my dumb arse!

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.

I thought that I heard Odom say that he was going to a power running game with north-south running. Maybe I misunderstood that. The biggest back is Abbington at 215. I would assume 220-240 lbs. would be an ideal weight. Mizzou players seem like they have a hard time putting on good pounds.

There's a handful of backs that are near 240.
Look at the running Mizzou did in 2013 as an example. Or look to what Samaje Perine did for Huepel in his last year at OU.

Undersized backs?
Posted on 2/18/16 at 8:35 pm to Zou brownmajic
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.

Bauer 310

Just from a quick glance at the weights, RBs and OLs, y'all seem to have the beef to execute a down hill running scheme.
You don't have to have a super dominant power running attack, Arkansas wasn't overpowering running the ball last year for example. You just need to get people to respect the run to set up play action passes and grind out yards.

....but Arky had the biggest linemen in College and Pro Football! Barney Fife could run behind that line.

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.

That's good size. Mix this size with a 210 and up RB with marginal talent and that's a running game you have to respect.

You could possibly start those guys as well. Bauer has been working at both center and guard.

I sure hope Elarbee knows what he's doing. After last year's shiteshow, he sure has his work cut out for him

His OL at Arkansas State was very solid. Also has some background as a GA at both OKie Lite and LSU.

The turning point in our season was realizing that we couldn't just line up and run for it on 3rd and 2.
Honestly?
Our O-line under achieved last year. Though, with the oh God why number of injuries I'd have been thrilled to see Barney Fife line up in the backfield.

Yes, Elarbee had some fine OL at Arky St and seems to be a very good teacher.
I think he's a good fit for what we have and he'll get the OL playing much better than last year.
