Offensive line

I'm curious about the depth on the offensive line.
Who's backing up Caleb Peveto at left guard? Can Justin Boren play both sides?
And I know Darrin Johnson missed a few practices with a sore ankle - who's behind him? Kenard Burley? Mike Benson? Ben Poynter?

I'm fairly sure the coaches don't want to play Lobo this year, that they want to redshirt him. If that's the case, we are a little thin up front. Boren, of course, will get a lot of PT. Bryan Turner, I assume, will back up Kieschnick at center and will back up at the guard spot(s). Poynter is a jack-of-all-trades guy who can probably pinch-hit anywhere across the line. Does this mean Dustin Morton is in the rotation now?
Also, Poynter has a brother or cousin or something who walked on as an OL. Anyone know how big he is? Can he play?

How has Morton looked in workouts?

I'm worried about the depth all along the line, but especially at tackle. Who's backing up Johnson and Urbanus? Adell Duckett is a tremendous pass rusher, and Tech added a JUCO guy who's supposed to be looking really good. Johnson (and his ankle) and Urbanus need to step up BIG.
