Anyone have any updates from practice? I'm stoked for football season and am like an addict needing a fix.

Twelve Deacons weigh at least 300 pounds, compared to 10 last season. But the biggest difference is in the super-heavyweight division, with seven Deacons weighing at least 320 pounds.
A year ago, Dennis Godfrey weighed 335, and no one else on the team weighed more than 315.
The seven players who reported for practice weighing at least 320 were offensive linemen Godfrey (350), Doug Weaver (320), Daniel Blitch (325), Joe Looney (320), Gabe Irby (325) and Colin Summers (330) and nose guard Bryson Dunmeyer (335).
Redshirt freshman tackle Antonio Ford weighs 315.
I cant decide whether this is good or bad.
I want big boys, but I want them to have good weight, not a bunch of tub
This mad me think of the poster "goin' hoggin":werd:
350!?!?! Jesus Christ!
Was it last year or two years ago that the OL was actively slimming down?
I'm more worried about our size on the DL.
Dennis could be a load to stop as a goal line fullback.
You and me both, Ph. If we don't get some bigger defensive tackles, we're in deep doo-doo.

You have to actually move to gain yardage.
