According nusports.com, we started:
1 RS Freshman, 3 Sophomores, 1 Junior
According to PSU's site, they started:
3 seniors, 2 juniors
Big, big difference there. Heck, just the difference in the cumulative hours spent in the weight room at the college level is huge.
As for *why* we are starting such a young line, I'll leave that to someone else who has followed recruiting and the status of our linemen over the years.
