While I agree with Rod to a certain extent, this was a DL that can be pushed
around. WMU's D-line is undersized and quick. They can be beaten by running
right at them. Now Bo also said in the post game comments that seeing 9 or
even 10 guys in the middle happened, so that certainly accounts for a lot of
the trouble. Still with a broken tackle here or there, you can get some big
gains.
