With a starting offensive line that averages 303 pounds, Lamar should have plenty chances to do that against an NAIA school that used six defensive linemen who averaged 235 pounds in a loss last week.

 

"This determines the season," center Kyle Gillam said. "If we can't do that then we don't stand a chance in (the Southland Conference)."

 

Line coach Nathan Reeves has set the standard even higher, telling players in a meeting Tuesday they have the ability to rush for as many as 350 yards tonight.

Lamar's game notes say the average starter on the OL for Texas College is 270, the Beaumont enterprise says its 230, I'm inclined to believe the game notes because 230 is ridiculously small for a O line, that's smaller than most High Schools.

Dang, that would be really nice. If we see 350 yds on the ground that will mean a couple of things.

 

A. probably a school record

B. we didn't throw the ball much
