I found these scores particularly interesting.
That 41 might be a record for a DB ?
And I've seen reports that people were concerned about Ohers intelligence and while 19 certainly isn't that impressive (in a positive way), it's really not at all bad either ? More like marginal (worst case description) than a really low score. I have to think Oher acquitted himself very nicely.

It's been a while since I read The Blind Side (which I highly recommend), but the issue with Oher isn't his pure intelligence but that he basically received no meaningful education until he was in his early teens and he has a learning disability. I agree that a 19 is a better than I expected for a guy with all of that working against him, especially on a standardized test like this one.
