The O line is a work in progress. The expectation was they'd bring in Campbell at LT and Karic at LG, with Coop and Spraggins a veteran presence at C and RG, with good competition and rotational depth at RT. It hasn't worked out exactly that way. Karic hasn't come along as expected and Lane has been solid competition and pushing hard to start. They've practiced Nichols and Lane at both C and LG for a year to give them options.

It would have been ideal to see consistency down the line coming into camp, but it's going to stay fluid as they continue to move guys around to increase their versatility for the inevitable dings and injuries throughout the season. Still plenty of time for Karic to come on strong, and Lane has really put in the work. It's always good to see local kids sticking with it and maximizing their potential.

I mean, it’s his money to do as he sees. I dont see the problem other than he's a total **** stick.

My post wasn’t aimed at saying anything other than “holy ****, a billion”. It’s his money.

Now, if he did bet on the Ryder Cup while playing in it than the PGA or Ryder Cup Europe may have an issue with that. At least he bet on his own team though. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve been super impressed with the job Mike Elko has done at Duke. Inherited a 3-9 team then in his first season last year went 9-4. He’s always been a great DC at Wake, ND and then A&M. He’s proving his worth as a HC at Duke

And in the discussion of coaching vs talent, he schooled Cristobal.

Not really a great report but thanks for the insight! Hopefully Tennessee gets something figured out up front before that Florida game. Sec play is all about OL and DL

Makes one wonder what he could do at a place like Miami. Even a UNC would be intriguing for him. Always been a unique defensive mind coming up with radical ideas on defense. Kinda like what Heupel is here for offense

I hate cathcing them early all the time, before they have their yearly meltdown.

Miami is stretched with that contract but if he maintains his current momentum, he’ll be top of every big time opening. Could see Notre Dame, easily.
