Arkansas' OL is going to be downright nasty

I guess it depends on who you ask but I recall most people saying UGA's OL was one of the best in the nation last year and we return all but one starter off of it.
Here is what I was considering with regards to OL.
Denver Kirkland - 6-5, 343 JR
Sebastian Tretola - 6-5, 322 SR
Mitch Smothers - 6-3, 315 SR
Marcus Danenhauer - 6-4, 322 SR\
Dan Skipper - 6-10, 307
That averages 6-5, 322...and not a single underclassman on the starting 5. On their run-heavy offense...they will be lining up and running over a lot of people. They will be big, strong and each will have at least 4 years of strength and conditioning training under their belts (along with 3 years in Bert's system).
Georgia's heaviest OL is still a pound below the Arkansas average. I think that UT's defense will match up better to Georgia's smaller, but more mobile OL than Arkansas' monstrosities.
ETA...(This is based on Georgia's OL from last year...I couldn't find a depth chart for this year yet).

5 years ago UGA had the biggest line in the nation. Bigger than the average NFL OL and it was one of the worst we've had so size isn't everything. Our strength is we've rotated the entire 2 deep every game to keep them fresh for the 3rd and 4th quarter and then we'll grind it out. Our line is pretty damn good and we return 4 out of 5 starters.
Theus 6'6 315
Kubs 6'3 295
Wynn 6'2 285
Pyke 6'6 320
Houston 6'5 285
I think that playing you guys 3rd will be a benefit for us. If Arkansas' OL pounds it out then it just softens UT up for UGA.
