I did not see him come in with any snaps at LG or center. Shank played most of the game. Was this designed to give Shank some PT and get him back in game shape. Also, he does not look to have lost any of that weight they mentioned months ago

Not sure, but the O-Line needs to get their shite together as a whole.

I think all of them but Bozeman had false starts, and Bozeman blew a snap.

Both tackles are playing well...all the interior guys need to take their panties off before the next game.

Somebody should take Lester Cotton's.

He played like absolute shite today.

Yep. I think Pierchbaker should move back to LG.

He came back in for at least one series after being replaced. I think Saban also mentioned Shank not being in game shape yet...

it looked like Shank has not lost much of that weight he was told to lose. And if he has lost it, he sure needs to lose more.

We need some leadership on the Oline ala DJ Fluker

Barrett Jones was the leader on the OL. No disrespect to DJ. DJ just got excited a lot.

Cam should be the leader but I think it will come from our center. Jonah may be one someday but probably not this year. if 71 has not lost his starting job he could be it too

Is Pierschbacher not playing well? I haven't noticed him in particular. Cotton has made some noticeable mistakes. From my take on 2 games, Jonah Williams has played the best out of everyone.

NS said Shank would get some PT and he plays RG which is where 71 has been playing

Watching the replay now and Cotton, Shank and Piersh all looked bad. Not one of them looked good and that's the issue right now it's not just one that looks bad.

Ross was pretty good last year, he's experienced so I'd hate to see him out of the lineup.

Say LT is C-Rob, RT is Jonah, and RG is Shank.

Cotton is one of our most talented guys up front, and so far he's having some growing pains. That's not entirely unexpected.

So you put Ross back at LG and let Cotton be a 6th man? Do you put him at C, where he was for months, and let Bozeman be the 6th man?

I don't understand what happened with Ross at center. He spent all spring and all of fall camp there until USC game week.
If he was struggling there, why not make the change sooner? He has only had like two weeks of practice at RG, probably why he is struggling.

my guess the last scrimmage showed some things that the coaches did not like. Thus the move
