My guess of the starting OL @ BSU:

LT: Coleman Shelton, RS-Soph
LG: Jake Eldrenkamp, RS-JR
C: Tufunga, RS-SR
RG: Brostek, RS-JR
RT: Matt James, RS-Frosh

McGary is probably the top OT off the bench since I've never heard anything even slightly positive about Kirkland.

I don't see McGary playing this year at all. Gotta remember he is really raw, I think he is a year away from contributing for us. He looks great, but needs to learn the position.

Adams got A LOT of work yesterday at LT. I think like others that he is starting by end of the year.

I've never seen McGary, but could he be a guy that by mid season or the end of the year can contribute? Am I wrong for seeing James more of a placeholder because he's more refined in his technique, understands the position, etc?

Damn, I was really hoping we could RS Adams.

I think that is possible. He certainly physically looks very good. I am not an expert in OL play, but I am just guessing since he has only played the position for a year now he is likely behind some guys.

The coaches really like Matt James, but I think he might be a place holder at RT for right now until one of those big tackles is ready to take over at RT for him. I could however see him moving to guard or center down the road though.

Adams will start by midseason.

I hope not. Starting frosh OL at the line rarely, rarely ends well.

Sounds like he is already nasty and pancaking guys so as long as he's physically ready I'm fine with him playing. Looks like Pete can recruit the lines well so fuck it lets win now.

I don't think this is a staff that would risk a career.

oh yeah, forgot we have an adult in charge. Of course Adams will redshirt.

Which is why Sark started 3 freshman OL last year.

some of you are forgetting that Adams isn't reggie williams

I'm more saying if he plays then he's ready to play. Maybe he's one of the guys that physically handle it, he sounds like a tough son of a bitch.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Offensive linemen that play as true freshman seem to always get hurt and have chronic injuries afterward. Porter and Koehler come to mind. Brostek was another one that was hurt and albeit mismanaged.

If Adams is physically ready to take on the role then great. If not just redshirt him. Tsio anyways. 2040 will be special.

Oh no! We'll be missing a guy who sucks!!! What will we do?!?

Though, I think this burns Adams' redshirt.

Whoever was behind him sucks more.

did Peterman throw his hat on the ground, fall on his back and cancel the rest of practice?

At UW that is true. I'm not sure about other places. I can think of quite a few OL that played at true freshman that turned out fine. Most of those guys were 5 star recruits, but if Adams is in the two deeps he probably plays.

 

[HFNY]

I'd say it's the easiest for OGs to step in and play.

Winston Justice started about a decade ago for USC as a true frosh OT and did well enough.

OT Tyrell Crosby for Oregon got some PT and maybe even started a few games and did ok.

USC started 3 frosh OL last year but 2 of them were OGs.

My biggest concern is injury over performance when true frosh usually have to go against guys who are a few years older than them and thus have spent multiple years in a CFB weight training program to handle the rigors of starting / playing a lot of plays.

You usually will see the talent come out with running blocking pretty quickly, but yeah usually lots of pass pro breakdowns.

 

[HFNY]

Good point, another reason why it's easier for true frosh OGs to play than OTs.
