Worst o-line in Big 12?
= to or better than ku's OL. Two returning starters at OT only buffers the loss of 110-plus career starts on the interior.
Big 12 North OL
1) Mizzou - two 4th year starters at the two most important positions: Speiker at center and Luellen at LT. Madison is returning starter at LG. New starter at RG kurtis Gregory is talented.
2) Nebraska - Slauson one of the conference top guards. Byford returns at center. Starters at tackle are as talented as any in the conference in Murtha and Nicks.
3) KSU - Bedore and Stringer are becoming two of the better players at their positions in the conference. A lot of returning experience.
4) Colorado - light on scholarship numbers but have 4 players returning w/ considerable experience
5) ku - replace entire interior OL despite tackle positions being solid
6) Iowa State - replace 4 starters
What I love about ku fans. They have had exactly one good season from their OL in Mangino's years as head coach. One. And now they think they're just going to reload or something. To listen to beak fans one would think they are going to line up w/ Anthony Munoz, John Hannah, Mike Webster, Bruce Matthews, and Jackie Slater.
Texas fans are concerned about their OL and they have returning starters at tackle but their interior OL was gutted. I repeated...Texas fans are concerned...ku fans, no worries. Good stuff.
