Stoops admits that something is lost when you go lighter, but the whole point here is fewer and fewer teams employ power running games anymore. this is why he and all the other coaches are downsizing. you have to remember he lost to Boise St.'s finesse, and last year he lost to Texas Tech and got blown out by West Va's spread. size didn't help him in those games. obviously he and other coaches feel that more is gained than is lost by downsizing due to the popularity of the spread and no-huddle.you might have a point in that the SEC employs more power running than other conferences, but i only advocate what the typical SEC defense utilizes. by this i mean DTs in the 280-290 range, DEs around 260, and LBs in the 215-230 range. if you inspect the sizes of the defensive fronts of say Auburn, Georgia, UF, you'll see that my numbers are pretty much reflected in their fronts. i haven't looked at other SEC teams.
