Would be surprised if Baldwin isn't the starter at LT next year. Let's remember that he too was highly recruited and is in his Senior year and familiar with the system. Like Elflein he has done an admirable job this year when he saw the field.

Why wouldn't they give the LT spot to their best tackle, Decker?

And with all due respect to Baldwin, there was a significant drop-off in production in the Illinois game when he came in for Mewhort. Not so for Elflein in the UM game.

Once we get rolling, it’s hard to stop us, and those seniors led the way, and I was right there with them, taking care of business,” Elflein said.
Linsley grinned like a proud father after the win, anticipating the moment in the next team meeting when Elflein will grade out as a champion and be clapped to the front of his room by his teammates.

You should have seen his actual parents, Kenny and Lisa, after the win.

“We always tell him, we don’t want him to get to play a lot because somebody else got hurt,” Kenny Elflein, wearing his son’s No. 65 jersey said. “But today, I was thinking, Marcus Hall got ejected, uh oh, Pat’s going in. So we loved that. We knew he’s capable of doing the job.”

If that’s what his father his thinking, imagine Elflein himself assessing the situation on the sideline as flags were flying from an on-field fight.

“I knew people were probably going to get thrown out,” Elflein said. “Then the older guys calmed me down a bit, because I was a little nervous. It’s awesome playing with those guys.”
