Purdue Football: Matchups to Watch

Minnesota’s offensive line is MASSIVE
LT: 6-6, 300 Pounds
LG: 6-5, 315 Pounds
C: 6-5, 300 Pounds
RG: 6-5, 370 Pounds
RT: 6-9, 400 Pounds
I am not great at math but that is near 1,700 pounds of meaty offensive linemen. We have one starting defensive lineman over 300 pounds, as Lawrence Johnson is sitting at 305 pounds.
Purdue will have to use their speed to get around these massive human beings. In the run game, my hat tips towards Minnesota, as we watched them run all over us last season. They carried the ball 41 times for 265 yards, good for 6.5 yards per carry.
