This is good to hear, however the thin depth chart on the O-line is nothing that Brewster can fix. What happens if we lose any two o-line to injury?

So who are your starting five and what happens if there are injuries?

I assume you are projecting a starting five of Boren, Cordle, Brewster, Adams and Shugart/Browning. And our super subs are Smith, Miller, Blankenship, Shugart/Browning along with 4 true freshmen. It's not dire but I'm also not overly optimistic about the O-line.

How about we take this discussion on the 09 OL to a thread for the 09 OL in the football forum?

Could Connor Smith possibly earn a starting job next season, realistically? Boren and Cordle look like sure-fire starters at OG. But, I'd like to think that Connor Smith could possibly live up to his potential and earn a starting job during his Junior Season. If not, I certainly see him as a starter for the 2010 season at this point.

My guess for the start of the year:
LT: Mike Adams, Andy Miller, Sam Longo
G: Justin Boren, Evan Blankenship, Cory Linsley
C: Mike Brewster, Andrew Moses
G: Jimmy Cordle, Connor Smith, Marcus Hall?
RT: Bryant Browning, J.B. Shugarts, Jack Mewhort

- However, I see Shugarts takes over Browning's spot. Not because Browning isn't good, Shugarts is just that good. Also, I could see Linsley or Hall passing Blankenship.

I'm actually pretty excited about the potential of the line. I'll admit it hasnt been a strong suit in the past, but could this be the year to change it? I surely think/hope so. I dont see Marcus Hall playing inside though, nor do I see him cracking the 2 deep if he does come here. I also saw Mewhort playing center at the under armour game and he did a great job blocking.

I thought I understood from a variety of sources that Bryant Browning really needs to play inside. If he is a starting guard, who will be the odd man out - Boren or Cordle?

I think Browning would be the odd man out in that situation. Boren could end up being our best lineman in that lineup, and Cordle is a senior, so Browning most likely would be the 6th man. In 2009 he could take over for the departing Cordle at one of the guard spots with Shugarts on the outside.
