...and I'd bet dollars to dimes, that the Lou Holtz / Joe Moore linemen could have handled any of today's defensive fronts.
Back then, the average size of a Division I offensive lineman was about 280 lbs, give or take. If you were a 300 lb lineman, then you were considered "huge."
These days, in the college ranks, a 300 lb offensive lineman is considered "athletic."
Every starter during that era had excellent technique, and I remember their neutralizing a good number of future early round NFL draft picks, including NFL stalwarts the likes of Sean Gilbert, Sam Adams, etc., often times one on one.
