Starting O-Line Friday Night

[East Coast Mustang]

Any idea what it will be, left-to-right?

Is Ashcraft the LT, bumping Gottshalk to LG? I assume Lasecki is the C, and had heard Weeks was impressive in practice as well.

Last I heard was:

Ashcraft gottschalk lasecki rice weeks. Concerned about that right side particularly with pass protection from what I've read.

[RGV Pony]

Our biggest area of concern imo. Legitimate concern.

[East Coast Mustang]

Size-wise from left to right that's...

6'5" 315
6'5" 293
6'3" 296
6'4" 287
6'5" 310

Pretty good, and a major improvement over where we were physically a few years ago. But yeah, that right side is green with Weeks and Rice.

RGV- I would say our biggest concern is still the defensive front, though.

[StallionsModelT]

Ashcraft
Gottschalk
Lasecki
Rice
Weeks

[JasonB]

Rice is good. Weeks has a ton of potential, but is still young. We just need one of the tackles to play well so that the RB can help the other side.

[hwgdds]

Nice guesses. Here is the surprise:
Ben Gottschalk- LT
Chauncey Briggs- LG
Taylor Lasecki- C
Sam Rice- RG
Thomas Ashcraft- LT

Two left tackles is a surprise!!
J/k

[SMU 86]

I thought Briggs was a tackle.

[Stallion]

I guess he was 55 pounds ago

[RedRiverPony]

Just because he lost weight doesn't mean he's not a tackle. Sounds like he's a reserve, but now a reserve who can move better.

[Stallion]

BTW reports are that Ashcraft lost 30 pounds since coming to SMU too. SMU doesn't want any Fat Boys in their OLine as we've seen over and over.

[PonyPride]

Very true. When these guys do their conditioning runs, these guys RUN. They look pretty athletic - they're just bigger than the other athletes around them.
