Been more than one mention of the physique of our roster. How teams like Illinois look manly and we don't.

Well, everyone's eyes will see what they see but here are the numbers. I also threw in LSU for comparison. I mean, they're number one, right?

Typical lineups...
Nebraska lineup average: 6-1 ½, 207 ½
Illinois lineup average: 6-1, 198
LSU lineup average: 6-0, 193

Here are the names and numbers.

Thanks for putting this together.

I will maintain that their body composition is different than ours (Miller's 255 is much different than McInerney's 240). Perhaps it was the sleeveless jerseys Illinois was sporting tonight that made them appear bigger. There were a ton of 300+ foot foul balls and deep fly outs hit by Illinois, not many by us.
