there may be plenty of talented backups on the o-line on the roster, i think that there are, but they are all freshman and sophmores. Black, Hitt, and Barksdale may be set in stone, but i dont think Hebert is 'set in stone', as it came down to him and Lanergan. Barksdale appears to be somewhat overrated by the recruiting services, but still a decent player, and Black is not exactly setting the world on fire this season. If they are 'set in stone' as starters, and they are, it's only because their are no other upperclassmen to push them.

PJ is a converted C who has problems with the shotgun snap

we're a spread team, so the shotgun is important

he almost overtook the RT spot in 2007 as a true freshman. i think he did start a game or 2 in 2007

a 4-year starter is not losing his spot unless he dies

3 of the 4 have been essentially starters since the year we won the fricking national title

the 4th has no real competition at his position, and we haven't had attrition at OC. we just have only recruited 1 pure OC in the past handful of years
