Starting OL next year?

Postby East Coast Mustang » Tue Feb 04, 2014 11:59 am

My biggest concern on the offensive side of the ball, by far. It doesn't matter how much improved Burcham is in the fall (and I think he has a much higher ceiling than some on this board), if the OL sucks, can't pass protect, and we can't rely on the run game it's going to be a miserable season. Sounds like Sam Rice is transferring out from what some on here have said, and Ben Hughes wont be back either.

I'm assuming Briggs has the starting LT spot locked down since he started last seven games there last year, and Lasecki will be starting center. Other than that- does Weeks return at RT or slide inside to allow someone else (Myers, Holloway, Reich, Chamagua) to play RT? Saena is apparently 6'5" 330 now - if he has the requisite footwork/technique to go along with that size he could definitely contribute. Also, I wonder if McCarty/Fister compete for playing time and one of the starting spots at guard. Ideally, we'd be able to redshirt Hyder and Evan Brown but I think they're both pretty good players who could contribute early if needed.
