Holy Crap! Young-Guns Who DEMAND Double-Teams!

Look guys...I don't read a lot of coaches interviews, because usually it is a ton of "blah-blah," but we have had some good interviews by 247 Sports that have provided new information for us.  For example, from Defensive Line Coach Tuioti....

"We really didn't have reps for guys like Tionne Gray or Terrance Green. (Last year) The trio of Gray, Green and Jericho Johnson, a redshirt frosh like Gray, form what is quite possibly the largest trio of defensive players in school history. Gray is the biggest of the bunch, listed a 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds a year ago, while Green, 6-foot-5 and 330 pounds, and Johnson, 6-foot-4 and 340 pounds, are close to his equal in size. And according to Tuioti, each of those players are even bigger now."

"They're all about 345 pounds. We go back and look at how much weight they can lose, but they're just big humans. They can carry that weight," Tuioti said. "It's hard to find those kinds of men who are able to play that position. We're fortunate enough to have them."

Holy Crap!  Are you kidding me?  A perfect Nose Tackle that demands a double-team each time and frees up the linebackers that is THAT big is rare...but to have THREE of them?  The article is right here, and I am astonished at my good fortune as a fan to witness these young-guns coming up the ranks.  Whew!

And it is true that Matthew Bedford is back, healthy, and experienced with over 30 B1G starts on the offensive line. Fantastic!
