This excites me. Your thoughts.

From what I have heard from people that are close to Andy is he had been keeping himself in very good shape while away from the team. He might not be ready for game speed but hes closer then we think

 
At least we know that our O line can dominate teams, no matter how weak they are. That shows something. It might not mean that we'll pancake Vtech's Dline every play, but it does mean that we won't be pushovers out there. I'm optimistic.

Will Andy have the required NCAA practices to play in the VaTech game? I thought there was a certain number they had to participate in.

We need all the help we can get for this game.

Right now they are not considered to be very good, but if they beat NC it will mean something. WE have to hope they win.

The only rule I know of is that a player has to do 2 days of practice with half-pads before being able to practice with full pads. And that only applies at the beginning of the season.

So as I am sitting here tonite I watched the game via no-huddle and am currently watching Big-Red Wrap Up. and as I watch these highlights I never really noticed how dominant our o-line was out there this week with Murtha back in the lineup. and then i start thinking. holy huge. we have andy christensen, argueably the best lineman we had last year waiting in the wings. can you imagine if he is back to game shape and ready to go for VT? i think we might have the works for some bigtime yardage. anyone thinking this? or am i just getting my boxers in a bunch..

I have been as critical of the O line and the running game, or lack thereof, but yeah I agree, it was encouraging. Yeah, yeah, yeah it was against lowly NMS, but there was a definite attitude and a little swagger with big Murth in the lineup.

 
Let's wsee how the o-line does against a big, strong quick VT defensive line and linebackers. That may be one of their bigger tests of the year. If they do well against them, then they are coming around.

Although not technically part of the offensive line, I was pleased with how well the tight ends and receivers blocked. They have improved a lot, and are critical to a good running game.

Realistically, who knows when Christensen will play, if ever. He probably isn't in very good shape (at least he didn't look like it coming out of the Courthouse), and will have to pick up the blocking schemes. I also think that he is still in the doghouse.
