starting OL vs. Auburn?

[The Manhatter]

I'm guessing...

LT - Alesana
LG - Robinson
C - Viers
RG - Bedore
RT - Stringer

thoughts?

Looks good. I am interested to hear this saturday if Viers is still working with the #1's. If he is, after another week of practice, pencil him as the starter vs. Auburn at center.

Viers would be beating out our top O-Linemen and one of the best interior O-linemen in the Big XII for his own position. Than you would definately need to stick Bedore at one of the guard spots.

Getting Alesena on campus last year really helped him out, he is a starter at one of the tackle spots. I agree that Stringer would beat Unruh out for RT. Nick was one of our top O-Linemen last season when healthy. And here's to Stringer staying healthy.

Robinson is finally getting comfortable at that LG position. He really came on at the end of last season. Took him a couple years, but really taking advantage of that 6'8" frame.

These are the guys who are going to keep Blackmon & Groves out of the backfield.

I'm kind of up in the air on things but I have a feeling Bedore is going to end up starting at center.  Nothing against Viers I just think Bedore's experience is going to win out in the end you want an experienced guy at that position on the road in a place like Auburn.  my guess is:

lt- Alesana
lg- Robinson
c- Bedorerg
rg-Spexarth
rt- Stringer

The cool thing is we are actually going to have some depth this year.  Meyer, Unruh, Viers, Liu, Benoit, Handy, Rooker etc we have some options behind the starters.  Handy and Rooker have a number of career starts but are going to have a hard team making it past third team this year.  One guy that I'm interested in hearing about is the Mayfield kid.  He is up to 330 which is seemingly too heavey for him but apparently he passed the conditioning test so he must be able to carry it fairly well.  No one that went to the open practice mentioned anything at all about him though.

Giving Bedore too much credit, being the best on "our" line is not saying much and one of the best in the big 12 is a stretch.

I like your group manhatter.

I agree with your cire regarding Bedore.  Decent but he isn't as good as some think.  I can never remember his name but the MU center is a good player that I would take over Jordan.

In reality, it is going to take way more than the 6 guys that seem to be on everyone's mind.  That Auburn d line is great and I think we need to keep our guys fresh with some form of rotation at guard.

Who's the top OT off the bench, Meyer?

Is Rooker still playing inside?

I think Boggas got a medical redshirt so plug him wherever.  He can play anywhere.

Maybe I'm wrong but I kind of have a hunch that Prince played Viers with the #1's to motivate Bedore.  He does like to push the competition button.  That being said, if Viers is still with the #1's next week, then that theory is dead...and it is, hopefully, a good sign for the line depth.
