When Michigan is playing offense, our two-deep OL compared to TCU's two-deep DL, Michigan outweighs TCU by 24 lbs. per man.
When Michigan is playing defense, it's a different story. TCU's two-deep OL compared to Michigan's two-deep DL shows that TCU has Michigan outweighed 313 lbs per man to 307.
I don't know what conclusions can be reached, but I can't think of a game this season when our lines didn't "wear out" our opponents in the first half, substantially increasing the scoring differential in the second half of games. That doesn't look like it'll necessarily be the case against TCU. Based on the size of linemen alone if anyone gets worn out it might be the Michigan DL as the game progresses, particularly if we try to apply pressure on Max Duggan with bullrush line pressure alone. And it gets worse if our linemen have to chase him around as he attempts to run.
We'd better score early and often, and our pass protection strategy will be very interesting.
