Offensive Line

[duckman398686]

I've heard that Munoz and Douglas aren't gonna be abel to play most likely in the SECG. This isn't the greatest news but i think we'll be alright. Richie Gandy and Toieiana (not sure how you spell it) have provided us with good blocking. It still hurts not to have them though.

Don't worry about your spelling, hun. Nobody else around here does.

Munoz is our biggest loss, but i think that we will be alright without his for the SECCG

Really? I wish that I shared your optimism! I think that not having Munoz on that line is a huge loss for us. We need all of the help that we can get against Auburns defense.

The o-line needs to really step it up a notch and protect Clausen.If we can't protect the qb,it's gonna be a long day.

LT 77 Michael Munoz
LG 52 Rob Smith
C 63 Jason Respert
RG 70 Cody Douglas
RT 76 Arron Sears

This is the group that started the first 4 games of the season. Then against Georgia, 72 Albert Toeaina started in place of Sears. Toeaina would start the next two games (Ole Miss and Alabama) at LT, while Sears returned to the lineup at LG.

The South Carolina game is where there was alot of shakeup.... Rob Smith moved to RG... Sears shifted back to RT... while Toeaina replaced an injured Munoz at LT... and 74 Richie Gandy played at LG.

Against Notre Dame, the starters from the beginning of the season were all in the former positions with the exception of Respert being out and replaced by 67 Chuck Prugh at C.

Against Vanderbilt, Sears shifted back to RG... Toeaina started at RT... and Gandy started at C.

Against Kentucky, Sears shifted to RT... Toeaina started at RT again... and Gandy shifted to RG.... Respert returned to C.

My guess at the starters for the SECCG is this:

LT 76 Arron Sears
LG 52 Rob Smith
C 63 Jason Respert
RG 70 Cody Douglas
RT 72 Albert Toeaina

Toeaina is the only one that did not start in the first 4 games, however, he has started 6 games (5 RT, 1 LT) this season and shown to be a capable lineman.

Munoz' play has been sub-par this year. Whether that's from injuries or coaching is something for the pundits. The fact is, lacking that last name, he'd not be on many All-SEC or AA watch lists.

His presence will only be missed by Clausen or Schaeffer who'll be dodging fewer "lookout blocks" coming from the left side.

Sears and Toeaina are a good combo of tackles. Douglas and Toeaina can dominate on the right side if they ignore what JRS tells them to do.

Respert would have been a FAR worse absence.
