Front Seven

Like most die hard Michigan fans I am constantly wondering about the front seven. In particular the size of the defensive line, which averages only around 275 pounds per player. The Big Ten has long been known as a conference of big offensive linemen and above average rushing attacks. Most of the teams our Wolverines play the rest of the way will outweigh us on the defensive line by an average of 30-35lbs. After watching what Notre Dame and Eastern Michigan were able to do at times has made me wonder looking forward, whether or not these smaller / quicker linemen, can work in this conference. I know Barwis is nuts about "fat bodies" but we need a couple of them up front on the DL for some added size and depth. The average DT's in the SEC are around 315lbs. Our first major test against a large offensive line used to primarily run the football is Sparty (aka little brother) (aka dirty skank). Hopefully GERG will have a great game plan to generate penetration and some disruption in the passing game. What do you guys think about getting a fat body or two in the next recruiting class or two?
