Let the arse whippings begin! Even a divine intervention by God himself won't save their arse. Maybe ESPN will anoint them the best 2 and 6 team in the nation on Oct. 27.

So far I haven't seen anything we can't handle in terms of DL even from newer articles that indicates a large DL by our standards.

Btw, it has nothing to do with weight. You guys have three guys on the oline over 310. You will never face a dline that is bigger.

We have a ton a talent on the dline. Hart and Keliikipi are pre-season all pac selections. Heimuli is playing his best football of his career coming out of high school as an all American. Buckner and Armstead are three and guys as true sophmores.

Our front seven weights, per the AD:

DT: Armstead (6'8" 296), Heimuli (6'4" 314)
NT: Keliikipi (6'3" 306), Balducci (6'4" 297)
DE: Hart (6'7" 287), Buckner (6'7" 286)
OLB/"drop": Washington (6'3" 245), French (6'5" 244)
Mike: Hardrick (6'1" 243), Cassell (6'0" 223)
WIL: Malone (6'2" 221), Walker (6'1" 230)
SAM: Lokombo (6'3" 232), (Coleman 6'1" 225)

Thanks. That may be large by your standards but I assure you it's not large compared to what we see all the time. After seeing the highlight reel against Virginia I can see why you think they're outsized. Those Virginia players looked about the size of Austin Peay's -- tiny men.

I think he's either on the Oregon DLINE, a parent of one of their DLINE players, or a DLINE coach. He's DL obsessed despite us telling him where our weaknesses are and aren't.

Enjoy the trip, if you are going.

Oregon wins this one by 7 TDs. VOLS are as bad at the skill positions as it gets at this level.

Call me in August of 2015.

I think we cover the spread if it's set between 25.5-28.

Anybody heard anything on the # of UT fans making it to Eugene? I read somewhere there were 7,000 but it wasn't an official report

Sadly, I'm not. I am however trying to find out figure out why you are so obsessed with Oregon's DL. If you think it's just good to test it against a great OLINE then that's fine but I don't see it as the key to Oregon stomping us. And that's not a knock at your DL either.

---

In this game, our DL is going to be the highlight for me. Do I care if we shred your secondary or run the ball on you? NO. After watching your defense's lateral speed against WKU, I am not worried about our offense scoring points.

This game is a measuring stick for our DL. The best unit on your team is the OL.

Let me complete that statement for you:

for our DL.

Not sure why you are so interested in this game that you are on an opposing team's website. Did you also head over to the FCSRant to get a detailed scouting report on the Nicholls State linebackers? The spring game was a better test for your team than what you'll see Saturday.

Sadly, there is no board for Nicholls . Most Duck fans are excited for this game. We've had a dreadful slate of OOC games since '09.

It's buried.
