Juggling the offensive line?

The DMN said Thursday that Coach Bennett is thinking about sticking Townsend Hargis in the lineup at right guard in place of Bryan Turner. Is this merely a size/strength issue? Is there some objection to the way Bryan has played? Whoever starts - knock 'em dead Saturday!
Go SMU!

I suppose it's a combination of size (Hargis goes about 6'4", 310, while Turner is listed - perhaps generously - at 6'2", 292) and maturity/experience. Hargis is a junior who redshirted his first year, so this is his fourth year of college ball. Turner is a true freshman. He's got real talent, but it's better to give guys like that playing time in carefully selected spots, when possible.

I think the inference is that Hargis was the starter all along but has been out with an injury. He played in a limited role last week
