I was referring to our o-line vs their d-line.

Their dline is 251, 326, 250, 264 (272 avg) vs our o-line at 330, 305, 300,
335, 310 which is a 316 avg.  As I said, a difference of about 40 pounds (44
to be exact).

They like to throw the ball around, a lot.  A team that puts the ball up 60
times in the opener is not suddenly going to switch to a 70/30 run, period.
Plus, their coaches have pretty much said that they expect to throw the ball
pretty much the same amount, even though they have their 2nd string QB in
the game.  They say that the 2nd QB is just as good and it was a really
close race between the two.

They've said they WANT to establish the run a little more, but when they are
unable, they will go to the air, especially if behind.  I expect to be up at
halftime around 21-10 or so and really take it to them in the 2nd half.

I'm sorry, I just don't buy the notion that they are going to run and run
and run and run.  The majority of their 60 passes were under 10 yards and I
expect a lot more of that.

Their starting offensive line is 315, 294, 284,362, and 290, average is 
309, right around where our line is. Sr, Sr, Sr, Jr, and R-Soph on the 
o-line. Behind their starters, still fairly decent size but not nearly as 
much experience. 

We won't score 48 because I doubt we'll get the chance. Whether they'll
successful or not, they'll run the ball, run the clock, and depend on road
mistakes by Nebraska to win this game.
