Having big offensive lineman can help your offense do a lot of things: clear space for running backs, protect against bigger defensive linemen and generally help keep a power-running offense humming.
You know what else they can do? Throw perfect floating touchdowns off their back foot against UAB.

That's 6'5, 350-pound Sebastian Tretola, a junior college transfer previously of Nevada, just moving into the backfield and throwing a touchdown pass like that's a perfectly normal thing to do. More of this, please, coaches.
Seems like an easy enough opportunity to turn this into a recruiting pitch, coach!

That's a pretty nifty number, Sebastian.

One notable former hefty SEC touchdown thrower was impressed.
Congrats to the Arkansas OL that threw the TD. That's one record I'm happy to give up. #fatmanthrowingtd #BBN
