God bless the Rockets!.

Add in Jones-Moore and we have a top 5 trio of running backs. What is really great is that none of the three are seniors.

We play #1 Arkansas... should be a great test. I still think we have THE BEST RB core in the country, counting everyone back to Remy.

Hopefully you guys have some better luck than we did with their monstrous O-Line!

That was my question. Are the Hogs solid up front, or did they lose a lot like Toledo.

They're offensive line averaged like 325-330 lbs per man or so, which was bigger than any offensive line even in the NFL.... I'm not too sure who returns for this year but I know they will have this 6'10 beast at LT who happens to be the smallest weight wise....

It appears they will again be the biggest in the SEC this year as well according to this article...

That certainly answers the question. This will be a nice test for Toledo's defensive front. Toledo's offense had better be answering the bell.

Toledo's D line will be deep in numbers. Big O line makes holes for RB's but fresh rushers can make a heavy Oline work. All you need is 3 stops in a row.

I'm kinda interested in seeing Swanson's progression from last season to this season

I'm kinda interested in not HAVING to see Swanson's progress, hopefully Hunt's only injury is "need a breather."

But yeah, sure a nice problem to have. Both are runners are great but also fun to watch.

They may seem heavy but those guys can run, run, run. It was hard for SEC teams to stop them last season, let alone any MAC school.

Oh i know. Im not saying we will hold their backs under 120, nor keep em under 45points. But some timely stops, maybe a turnover or two??? Who knows. We've never been out of a game with an SEC school with this team. Mizzou beat us up physically though, ending some seasons of key players. Staying healthy is more important.

Any team that runs the ball 65% of the time with that caliber of an offensive line and RB's is going to be tough to stop for anyone. Hopefully you guys will have better success than we did last year!

A 6'10" 300+ pound offensive lineman? And he's their smallest OL in terms of weight...

Add in they're the biggest OL in the SEC and it's going to take a lot of heart to win this game. Maybe we can compete with them in terms of skill but their size is unmatched and could be the difference maker (just like the Florida game, they simply outmanned us).

Speed can beat size. That's how Jimmy Johnson did it at The U (Miami) when he was winning National Championship there.

Out quick 'em!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good info about where Swanson is from if you aren't already familiar with Aliquippa, PA. He is the 3rd best rusher in their history. I expect big things this year from this tandem!

Might as well refresh this Swanson video again. It's like they are standing still!

So many of these talent videos, the player being highlighted is the largest kid on the field, making you wonder. Swanson was playing against some pretty big kids there.
