Depth on OL

[JoeB]

For those roster junkies, look over this list to see if the depth chart is accurate for our Offensive Line.

Left Tackle-  Dile, Carnes, Ide

Left Guard-  Warren, Schmidt

Center-  Griffen, Genus

Right Guard- Schmidt, Hermann

Right Tackle-  Walker, Carnes, Tolley, Sims

Man, we need these guys to play well this weekend to have a shot to beat Auburn.  Also need them to stay healthy for this game and for later in the year.  While it would be nice to beat Auburn, our season will be measured how we do in the Big East starting with WVU in 3 weeks.

[Who'sYourData?]

We have a bye after Auburn.  I'd hope that a couple of guys ought to be able to return after that.  It will also give our Freshmen (Genus?) a couple more weeks to get better prepared.  I'm more concerned about Auburn than the whole season.

I didnt like the idea of our week 3 bye, but since our O-line is getting so banged up, it actually may help us.

Hopefully we address the WR and OL depth this off season like we did the RB situation this past off season

[SANJAY]

"The Bulls lost another tackle this summer when redshirt freshman Jeff Ide opted not to return to the team, citing a lingering foot injury."

That is from Greg's blog last month.

Carnes is banged up per Greg's blog yesterday.  Tolley was retiring because of groin injuries and now has unretired, but will not be playing on the line.

Left Tackle-  Dile, Carnes, Ide

Left Guard-  Warren, Schmidt

Center-  Griffen, Genus

Right Guard- Schmidt, Hermann

Right Tackle-  Walker, Carnes, Tolley, Sims

Yeah.......it's actually a LOT worse than that depth chart indicates right now.

Ide hasn't been on the squad since the start of camp.

Tolley is out for the season with the groin injury.

And Carnes is very questionable for Saturday.

We may have the thinnest OL depth chart in D-1 right now.

Yeah, but a good chunk of those guys are freshmen that are redshirting.

Several others weren't even on the depth chart (McCaskill, etc.).

USF will be fine on the OL.

[BigShoop]

Right now, we're fine.

ONE injury, and there's a hole........and it's up to a young guy to step up.

[SANJAY]

I hope the guys are getting well hydrated today and tomorrow.

If either Dile or Walker get hurt on Saturday it may be game-set-match Auburn.
