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.

Our biggest area of concern imo. Legitimate concern.

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.

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.

Ben Gottschalk- LT
Chauncey Briggs- LG
Taylor Lasecki- C
Sam Rice- RG
Thomas Ashcraft- LT

I thought Briggs was a tackle.

I guess he was 55 pounds ago

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.

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.

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.
