I was expecting a little more to justify his optimism than that the backups weigh 16 pounds more.

Stony Brook looks ready for a Big East invite.

No LSU OR Alabama on the list. Size doesn't matter after all. Strength and speed win everytime.

That list is just Syracuse and its' opponents. That said, LSU's tackles are ~300+ lbs, but their D Ends go 250 lbs and 260 lbs.

It is time to just cut Trevardo Williams from the team. He only weighs 233 and he is really bringing down our DL weight aveage.

I still think our players' sizes are different than what's posted.. We saw those same sizes in the Spring.. The true frosh included.... Not sure why it's such a big secret on Coach P's part....

Nobody reports accurate sizes and weights. It's not just Coach P. I'll never understand why fans pay any attention to "measurables". There's nothing accurate about them, and they don't measure heart, coaching, technique, or health.
