That's a big boy for their line. Vigen is just building the NDSU model at Puds U. I mean it was dominant and successful for almost two decades, so why not. It's really nothing new. It's SEC/BIG10 football. Massive OL/DL, then get the best skilled position players you can. There is a reason those skilled players did so well in college but it didn't necessarily translate to the pros. In college the QB's and RB's had those monster hogs up front to protect them and blow open holes. If you don't have the DL to stop them, well, you gonna get rolled.

Of course it's not always 100% but Alabama was dominant for so long using that model, NDSU copied it. Vigen isn't some sort of brilliant coach. He is just "Red Beaulieu" using "Coach Kline's" stolen playbook. Again, why not the reason our grandmother's purple winning apple pies always won the in the fair. That "secret" not-so-secret recipe gets handed down to deserving family members. Eventually someone does figure out the recipe, but that doesn't mean they have access to the best ingredients. Even though Vigen and others have the NDSU FCS recipe doesn't mean they are going to get the best apples (thank you Portal).

Buuuut, every now and then, even the best baker starts to lose because someone else comes along with a different recipe, shakes it all up and changes everything.

That was a lot to say "Overall, the Puds got a big boy."
