I noticed Toledo had a pretty good rush defense last year, only giving up 126.4 rush yards per game. They run a 3-4 defense with solid size among their front three, but their linebackers only average 213 pounds, with nobody over 220.
I don't really know how ISU is going to attack the defense from a rushing standpoint, but it just seems like our players will have so much more size when you count our massive offensive line, Kock, and Hicks weighing in about the same as these linebackers. Their strong safety also only weighs 184 unless they start true freshman Barry Church.
Does anybody have any ideas as to how ISU will attack this defense or why they had so much success against the run with a small unit? Do they run a lot of different looks from this 3-4 to fill gaps?
