Our roster in 2015 will be 
Hopefully we can add a high-profile transfer or a JUCO like Chad Kelly @ QB. I don't want to waste the 2015 roster with a QB that isn't ready.

Yeah I guess I'm just not use to the idea of an elite kid coming in and starting right away or at least in year two. Depth ftmfw

Doesn't Freeze like to rotate O lineman to keep them fresh in the hurry up?
Yes and no.
I don't think he likes to "rotate" them like we do with our DL, but he does like to have options. One thing that's important to remember is that an OL unit has to develop chemistry and timing together, which they're working their dicks off on right now in fall camp (once they find out where Conyers goes, at least).
But, yes, we like to have some guys who can spell here and there and give us some versatility. Conyers this year, that big tackle from Jackson whose name I've already forgotten from last year, and so on. But if you watch our tape from last year you'll see that Tunsil, Swindall, Bell, and a couple of others took almost no plays off. So they didn't really rotate that much.

Are they just getting their arse kicked by Robert or a bunch of guys?

No faith in DK or RB?

The kid from New Iberia looks promising.
DK or RB will be legit in time. They're still babies.

Well yeah they need time.
They'll both be RS Sophs in 2015, though. I'm pretty sure one of them will have it figured out by then.

By both of our DTs. Granted I acknowledge that our Dline is really good but it's not just one on one blocking assignments, it's also missing key blitzers in pass protection. Your center has to be able to read and recognize defensive formations almost as well as your quarterback.

This is what made Barret Jones and Bama's OL so beastly in 2012.

I see Morris going pro if he projects anywhere in the first four rounds or so.

That could be. If so, I have no concerns with Rod taking over that left side and eventually incorporating Patterson into that RG spot a few games in.

Win 8 or 9 games this year and we could see all these linemen wearing red/blue.
Win 10 and the possibility increases even more so.
Freeze would like to have two complete offensive lines to rotate in during series. He hasn't been able to get there yet, next year you could see them using two o-lines during games in order to stay fresh and push to get to 100 plays on offense.
