What on earth is Oregon doing on the d-line list?

That O line was the only thing Sherman was exceptional at.

LSU, Bama, and Oregon are the only teams on both lists. Only the first two are legit though

That list is flat fricking wrong about Auburn. Auburns group is young, but both talented and deep.

Interesting how Wisconsin can just pump out OL every year to teh nfl and run the ball so well...but they cant duplicate on the DL.
Everybody big in wisky only want to play offense?

Nothing is ever won in the trenches..It is always won with deception and trickery.
