Offensive Line: Building for the Future

I apologize in advance for not remembering who tipped me off to this fact. It was either Dean Legge, Josh Kendall or David Ching. The offensive line's youth this year should pay off huge dividends in the future. How big?

Consider, that we only lose two seniors in 2007, 1 senior in 2008 and 1 senior in 2009. This is how the class separation works before the 2007 freshmen class gets their redshirts.

Sure, there will be growing pains in the near future. Sure, we'll have 3 or more sophs starting along the OL next year. But down the road, the depth we FINALLY have acquired will pay off huge.

Heck, we could have four quality guys as three year (or more) starters in 2009.
