Agreed. It also helps to play at home on offense.The most noticeable difference is the lack of OL penalties that put us behind on down and distance.

but we didn't do to a terrible Illinois team, what we should have done and a lot of that had to do with the O-line.
Why not not move Benhart to guard? Cocoran didn't do a bad job and didn't false startI'd also add that it would currently be difficult to put Benhart back in over Teddy. Maybe you eventually get the jumpsies out of him and slide Turner in to G and put Benhart at RT if it gives you a better 5. But you have to give that new lineup a try next week to start.
I dont think Benhart would adjust as well as Turner to playing inside. Just my opinion though. I will leave that to the OL whisperer Gregory AustinWhy not not move Benhart to guard? Cocoran didn't do a bad job and didn't false start
A 6' 9" guard? Not sure I've seen one that tall ever.Why not not move Benhart to guard? Cocoran didn't do a bad job and didn't false start

what changes to the o-line happened in the last 5 weeks..??And that was 5 weeks (and a litany of changes) ago.
Wisconsin's right guard is 6'7 and their center is 6'6 which is tall for a center. Maybe moving inside would help him not false start. Not worried as much about getting beat off the edgeA 6' 9" guard? Not sure I've seen one that tall ever.
Yes- then when the replaced player Benhardt came in- he false started on his very first snap. So yes, adding 2 new starters on the Oline seemed to kinda be a big deal.The most noticeable difference is the lack of OL penalties that put us behind on down and distance.
And sometimes it is just getting to play a crappy NW team.Sometimes the kids just need to step up and start having confidence building breakthroughs. Sometimes it takes a young line time to gel. Sometimes it's not 100% on the coach.

I think it's likely we see that although it might not be until next year.
That is where I am at as well. Turner moves into guard, Benhart gets his jumsies corrected, you keep Teddy at LT, Jurgens at center and then you let the rest of them battle it out for the remaining G spot.I think Corcoran is a better fit, long term, at Guard than he is at Tackle, particularly if he has aspirations in the NFL. If Benhart can figure out the issues between his ears, and they can recruit behind him and Prochaska, then I'd like to see him move full time.
So....why would you move Corcoran to guard? It seems like Benhart is the one that is struggling more at tackle.That is where I am at as well.
