Our OL is really small...

From center to left tackle, we're only averaging 275 pounds. We've got two starting frosh. This will definitely be the area to watch on Thursday.
 
Most definitely! I wish that we would actively recruit 300lbs and not just 250-275lb guys all the time. I never have understood that. Go Eagles!!!
 
There aren't a lot of kids 300 out of HS, but you'd assume they'd put on the weighti n the program. Most kids 300 out of HS are either 4-star+ kids or fatties.

Your info is WAY out dated ! These guys after summer conditioning and new strengh coach are ave. 285 lbs ands bigger at the corner !! Not only bigger but stronger and quicker ! Even in the pros the new trend is quicker and more athletic O L need to be to keep up with the quicker D L's. More zone blocking more agility !! GO EAGS !!!!! O yeah, we WILL see on thursday !! Won't be problematic putting up points, but sure as hell might be stopping them !!
 
Admittedly, I haven't seen the kids since last year... my info comes from the most recent press release from the university at goeags.com. They list the starters at 275, 280, 270, 295, and 305 (thus my comment about them being not very big, especially on the left side).

just released new bio's on these guys and none below 290 Lbs, they need to update that roster info !!! GO EAGS !!!!
 
By my math (and not looking at the "new" release that supposedly has them heavier), our 2-deeps average 286 lbs per player. As a comparison, WSU's 2-deeps posted yesterday average 283.7 per player. We'll be just fine.

There is absolutely no way that Gabe Jackson (LT) is over 280lbs
