Lamar must run with undersized line

Lamar football fans before the season expected a high-powered offense that would outshine the sputtering versions of the last two seasons.

 

That could still happen, but it will take time.

 

Lamar ranks at or near the bottom of the Southland Conference in several offensive categories through five games.

 

Oklahoma State transfers Kevin Johnson and Herschel Sims have been productive. But coaches must decide how to produce behind undersized linemen, coach Ray Woodard said.

I think it's taking time implement a more complicated offense with a lot of new players. There's maybe 3 or 4 starters back from last year: Gillam, Robertson, McVey (who's been hurt) and Ford.

 

As far as the OL goes, for the 2nd straight game they are going with RS-FR Brock (280), SO-IL Kelso (280), JR-2L Gillam (270), SR-1L Robertson (270) and JR-2L Babin (280). That's an average weight of 276, not 270 like the article says. I guess the 300+ lbs OL on the team just aren't that good.
