If the season started today

[Vitale]

What would be the starting offensive and defensive lines?

OL: Thomas, Howerton, Ali, Osborne, Morris
DL: Wiley, Chatman, Williams, Loveless

OL - Marcus Bryant (LT), Thomas (LG), Hickman (C) Howerton/Ali (RG), Osborne (RT)
DL - We are going to a 3 man front - Wiley, Williams, Chapman

What makes you think Bryant unseats Thomas? If Thomas had NFL aspirations,I expect his chances will be better at guard, and Bryant sure looks promising. But I don't know if he's ready to knock off a 3-year starter, is he?

On defense, it's Ndukwe back? Always liked him.

Because at the practices I attended during spring ball (more than half), Thomas was the starting left guard and Bryant was the starting left tackle - Bryant was backed up by Perdue at left tackle - Ndukwe is back - didn’t see much of the DL as they practiced on the far side of the field and were hard to “eyeball” from my side of the fence

Mic drop.

DL - 3 man front. Wiley and Ndukwe are more at the stang end position rather than part of the down three. Williams vs Chatman at NG. Levelston will start at one DE. Other DE might be Aho if he continues to grow.

Is Nelson Paul a DE still or at the Stang position? Coxe was playing OLB last year.

I’m kind of confused who will play on the DL now in the 3-4, seems like all the DE’s are now at the Stang position. Will they have guys like Will Jones and Terrance Newman playing DE?

Seems like a position they would be going hard after transfers for.

I read once that Jay Bell looked the part. Wonder if he gets any PT this year.

Competition on the OL is insane this year. Have high hopes for that group.

I had big expectations got Levelston last year. Hopefully he makes a big jump this year.
