So my question is why don't we see many 6'8'' 350lbs DT in college Football? Why do players of this size end up on the offensive side of the ball?
Would some one of Steve Rehrig's frame be successful on Defense?

Probably because you have to fight like hell to get a player like that to stay low, thats why Heacock opts for those squatty wrestling type players who understand the principles of leverage and body control, but then again, sometimes, you just have to recruit a guy who is just a football player |

BSB$-- Step in the right direction
The defensive players discuss a solid performance against Troy and progressing as a unit.

I'm not a subscriber but I disagree strongly if anyone thinks that defensive performance yesterday was anything but vintage 2007 stat padding against a weaker opponent.
-rush 3 drop 8 was in full effect
-the interior DL is shockingly innefective
-the back 7 miss a ton of tackles
-no one is very good at shedding blocks
The only thing that ever changes is the level of competition.
