Don’t mess with Dorsey
LSU All-American defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey slowly strolled across the plastic Superdome turf Saturday. He was heading to his riser to meet the out-of-shape set on media day. His legs were gigantic and his back side … well, let’s just say Dorsey could box out anyone on a basketball court.
But as big as Dorsey is, there are bigger guys who will play in the BCS championship game. According to the rosters we were given this week, both LSU and Ohio State have nine players who weigh in at more than 300 pounds. Dorsey’s at a svelte 302.
The biggest man on the field Monday night will be LSU guard Herman Johnson. He’s listed at 6-foot-7, 356 pounds. In case you can’t find him, he’ll be number 79. He’s the fellow who weighed like 15 pounds at birth.
Dorsey roomed with him when he got to LSU. He didn’t know quite what to think.
“I walked in my room and said, ‘Whoa, get me outta here.’ “
Big Herm, Dorsey discovered, wasn’t a bad guy. And he can play football.
“Herm’s a big fella and can move,” Dorsey said. “He’s agile.”
