You guys must of forgotten like a few years ago when UGA had the biggest OL in all of football, at any level. We didn't do that good that year. I think size is overrated somewhat. Don't get me wrong, size is good, but if you are fat and the added weight is slowing you down, then it isn't good. If you are like Ben Cleveland, and don't have a lot of fat (as some lineman have), but can move better, then I would prefer that over a bloated Cleveland just to say he is 350lbs.

Plus another thing that I think is going to help us, is that it seems our OL recruiting in general is getting better. So if these guys pan out like we are hoping, then we should be fielding much better O lineman than we have in the past, talent wise.

That was in 2011 where we led the SEC in total offense.....and I seem to remember that the next year wasn't so bad either.

Also, I think we all have alot more confidence in Pittman being able to select and coach these large men than our previous coaches could.

That being said, Friend was really coming into his own up until he left with Bobo. There is no way we could've put up the kind of offensive numbers we did in 2011 and 2012 without decent line play.
