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!

Re: Juggling the offensive line?
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.

Re: Juggling the offensive line?
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
