because Petrino/Veltkamp cared about finesse and "quickness" instead of heavy weight strength
I remember seeing people get all worked up about bench numbers under Veltkamp, all the while not realizing bench numbers don't mean crap. Squat means everything in football, especially on the lines where long arms are assets in play but liability when working maxing on bench press.

except squat is terrible on the knees. it's good for maxing and NCAAF but that shite will frick your knees over good.
it's definitely good for determining strength but not for long term success.
It's the most dangerous weight training.
ETA: razorback long distance runners hardly ever squat (outside of maxing) because of this, at least 6 years ago they don't.

Same thing with squat.
Hodge is what 6'-6'1"?
Smothers is what 6'4" - 6'5"?
Shorter legs and bodies are going to have an advantage in squat just like a guy with shorter arms has an advantage in bench.
Nothing to see here.
550 lbs is fine for an OL. Remember you still got to be able to move them feet, move laterally, and pull.
