How big are they? Do they move well and how do you think they stack up against our OL? Thanks.

Bigger than Oregon's Dline. It is our deepest position on defense.

Should be good. We had expected it to be one of the best, but we had 0 sacks last week against New Mexico. I'm told out scheme against NM was pure containment but it's obvious we missed some QB sacks too. tons of quality depth.
Should be a good matchup.

I think they march up fairly even with Bama's Oline. Glad we get them early b/c Bama's Oline will be a monster by the end of the season.

In defense of our zero sacks, that QB was fast as hell. I doubt we play anyone the rest of the season with a more athletic QB.
We're as solid up front as we've been in 5 years probably.

Our D-lineman are on average 20lbs heavier than Oregon's.

In all likely hood you will see all of these guys if not more. We are very athletic across the D line. Tenarius and Smith are extremely fast off the edge. Not sure how we stack up against Bama.

2nd strongest unit on the team behind WR coming into the season. Haven't looked as strong as they are supposed to be, should know more Saturday. I think they are going to be solid as frick by year's end.

Thanks sugatowng, that's what I was looking for. Wish I knew the 40 times too but I guess nobody knows that right now. Some pretty big boys.

there is a reason for this...You can tell by Petrino's comments as well as players comments..
No reason to be concerned...Have you notice how free our LB's have been running??? Just think about it for a sec

These guys are strong...especially Thomas. He will require a double-team most likely.
Speed wise, Wright would be the quickest along with Chris Smith....Thomas is very nimble for a big guy. I got Thomas as our best player on D

Oh I'm not, I think this year's defense will be strong as long as the CB depth can hold up.

You're going to see a lot of 5-2 / 3-4 with Bequette, B. Jones, D. Jones, Thomas, and Wright on the field at the same time. Based on spring practice and the addition of the 5-2 set, I'd imagine that we're going to try to force Bama to beat us with the pass.

Yeah, I agree. That's gonna be the game plan at least early.

I saw JB tweaked an ankle against the Lobos. How's he doing?

I think it was a hammy. He'll probably sit until next weekend
