Seems like Paul Mubenga has won out. I've seen a lot of people saying Chester fell all the way to 3rd behind Echols.

LT: Adams
LG: Mubenga
C: Moore
RG: Thompson
RT: Davis

Looks like the OL for week one

Echols will be starting rest of the season by the 3rd drive

Why 3rd drive?

Same. The thing is, we have recruited OL in the past few years a lot better than before.

That said, I do feel like it is slightly skewed because our defense will be in elite status territory, but still.

I really like Moore as our Center. We really really really really really needed stability in that spot for Nuss.

You have to have a strong Center to have a productive Offensive and running game which we have had issues with.

We had two of the best Tackles to come through LSU the past few years and had a tough time moving the ball on the ground because we didn’t have stability at the nose.

With Moore alone I trust we will be much better.

Mubenga struggled at first but then played better down the stretch last year.

Relax…BK said he knows what a good O line looks like, and according to him these guys are good.

They didn’t do enough actual hitting to know, but it’s clearly Echols or Mubenga IMO

Seems like Echols will play

While he improved he went from horse shite to dog shite. Slightly smaller and maybe less smelly but still shite.

He still had a bunch of whiff blocks against OU. Hope he’s improved - I think there are tools there but he wasn’t ready last year.

Just like YR 3 is what you grade me on…unranked 9-4. Said it 50x plus B Davis can recruit but can coach them up… its prove it or move on

Holy cow what you are saying about Mubenga really tells you just how other worldly shitty Chester is to lose his spot to Mubenga.


Lord I hope Echols or Curne gets a shot there if so.

OL first game playing together, against a talented DL, on road with a loud hostile environment is a worrisome problem. They'll gel as a unit as the year progresses. But man this is a really rough draw for them in week 1.

Yeah well BK also said judge me in my 3rd year. We all saw how that worked out. So I will believe it when I see it regarding anything BK says

DJ Chester was a starter last year. Your point?

And by definition he was SEC caliber.

It’s a dumb statement. That’s my point.
