re: Let's be honest, LSU would have beaten Okie St in the 2011 Natty game.

Since nearly every big12 team runs a spread, you have to be able to keep your dline out there for more than a couple of plays, so they got athletic but undersized. And was exposed by big olines in ooc and bowl games.

A few have moved away from the smaller dline and lbs.(ou being 1), and trying to get bigger and athletic.
