I am optimistic that the O-Line will be an area of dramatic improvement. While we are still undersized with a few I think technique and good coaching will offset some of that. Hey BUS-What say you?

I think there has to be improvement when you consider how many freshmen played on last years line, and that EVERYONE was in their first year in the R&S. Heck Vincent had never even played Tackle. Given all that, plus another year in the weight room for the Freshme... I don't see how they couldn't get better overall. I'm looking forward to 2011, when these 09 recruits has some years in the system while a few of the current players still stick. They should have it all figured out by then.

Agree completely. I think the line is going to be good now, and better going forward. Beachum, LeRibeus, Tennison and Brooks appear to be set, and I guess McJunkin has an edge on Enright, although I still prefer Enright in there. The depth is what I'm most curious about. We know who the backup center will be, Kelly Turner at LG, Jordan Free at RG ... but who backs up at the tackle spots?

Yes, I believe th O-line will be much improved. That will make the o better and we will score more points.
We still need to work on 3 more big men for the D-line.

FYI, At Hawaii, to get speed on the field DEs were turned to DTs. JC DE Josh Leonard just finished his eligibility at Hawaii last season and was a good example of a productive DT that was a DE when recruited.
