This may be a bit of a reach, but the perception of the OL being a bit small may be directly related to the increase in size of UConn' DL. Edsall was known for his undersized and quick DTs and played DE like Whitten and Williams when they were below 220 lbs. In an up close look at a practice the OL would look huge compared to the current DL which is dominated by 300+ pound DTs and 250+ pound DE. Guys like Stephens (6'5 317 lbs), Pruitt (6'3 296), and Knappe (6'9 280) will not be dwarfed by any OL. Joseph, Jennings and Pruitt are all approx. 260 lb DEs.
