While I agree with you on the JUCO at OT, I don't have any qualms whatsoever with start a true freshman at guard. He won't be asked to do near as much at guard as he would have been at tackle. That made me much more nervous. Also,he has been in the program since January and went through spring practice so it's not like last week was his first time on the field in college.
Guard is obviously much easier to transition into than OT in this league (or any), you still have to take some lumps with a true freshman starting on the OL anywhere in this league with all the great DLinemen in this league.

Right, I agree with that which is why I am glad he gets three tune up games before heading to Bama. I in no way shape or form think our running game was going to be as good as last years even with Davis. There is going to be some regression when losing 3 olinemen. However, I am pretty encouraged to hear how well Brey has been doing in practice since being moved inside and it gives me hope that the line will be better by the end of the season than I anticipated when they had him out at tackle and he was getting blown by regularly.
