Jay Drew on the expected offensive line changes:
For instance, don't be surprised if senior Braden Hansen is the starting center, replacing sophomore Blair Tushaus. Tushaus, who has struggled since earning the role as the starting center, is listed at 270 pounds, but he looks closer to 240 or 250, and has been thrown around quite a bit by two of the best defensive tackles in college football, Utah's Star Lotulelei and BSU's Mike Atkinson.
Look for Famika Anae to get the reps at Hansen's left guard spot, or perhaps Manaaki Vaitai, a junior.
"This week, we've put different people in different places. I have been playing center the last two days. Manaaki Vaitai has been playing guard, Famika has been playing left guard," Hansen said Tuesday. "I think coach [Mark] Weber is just trying to find the best group that is going to work best together and be solid. We are just trying to figure that out this week, so we will be ready for anything."

I'm sure with the wholesale changes that they will play well as a unit.

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Maybe we'll find out now. I do find it amusing that for all of the fanfare about the OL slimming down, the latest moves appear in part to be an effort to get more weight on the field as Vaitai and Anae are both over 310 pounds.Originally posted by lambdacoug View PostI'm not sure how much worse they could play as a unit...Last edited by Indy Coug; 09-28-2012, 09:12 AM.

I too am excited. So much so, that I'm considering a roadie to Las Cruces, NM if this BYU offense shows a pulse. Time to get it on Cougs!"Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."

Only the idiots wanted the OL under 300 pounds across the board. I have no problem with linemen who are 300-320 pounds if its a fit/athletic weight and not a Terence Brown 300-320 pounds. Wisconsin when they've had their great lines of late they had fit 320 pounders on their line.Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostMaybe we'll find out now.

Which center was it that snapped the ball 30 yards behind Riley, providing Utah with their winning margin two weeks ago?Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Postswitching centers...what could go wrong?
Which center has been dominated by the DTs of Utah, Boise, and Weber Freaking State?
I agree that switching centers isn't ideal, but it's not like we're fixing something that ain't broke. If anything, I enjoy the tacit admission from the football staff that all is not well."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me.

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
