The Farmer-for-Conrad swap is due to injury. So then if you move Farmer to center, obviously a new guy comes in for Farmer at right guard. So it's not like earth shattering news.
 

 

Do we know that for sure? Conrad is still on the depth chart - I know he got hurt Saturday, but the only thing I've heard since is something along the lines of "he'll be fine." Don't know if that means he's limited but is still the 2nd best option, or he's healthy but they're making the move to Farmer.

Desperately need Collin Miller ready to play. Not even to take Young’s spot, although that would be nice, but we’ve seen how often one player can leave the game due to injuries, being winded, targeting, etc.

I suppose you're right, we don't technically know it for sure.

And really it isn't that Young is bad...it just seems like he has never gotten better, at all.  He is just an average player that they can't seem to get off the field.  

Got that right - he seemed to have started out hot his Frosh year and has faded since then.   Have so many DC and position changes over the past 3 years doesn't help in the area of player development.

Young has been 1-2 steps behind since he stepped in the field as a true frosh.  I agree he looks the exact same as he always has.

Can anyone name another 3-4 year starter that when their time was over you forgot they were a starter a few years later?  I feel like that is going to happen with Freedom, Mick, and Young.

I hate saying this but I'd probably say Cam Meredith...

Ankrah?  Was he a two year starter?  Joe Carter?  I think he was two as well though.

The one that surprises me is that Young is still starting and Honas isn't on the depth chart.

 

Is Honas injured?

Young is my biggest concern

Pierre Allen

Thad Randle

Mike Caputo

 

 

Basically, you could go through the O & D Line rosters from the Pelini and Riley eras and find guys that were mostly unremarkable.

So does this mean our JUCO RB that just got here doesn't love football?

Why do you jump to that conclusion?

I remember one OL from Pelini era but I don’t think he was a 3 year starter. That Korean walkon. I can’t remember any names but there was one that announced “we suck” after a game. So many forgettable players.
