We have one good backup center

Yup..We looked better on offense with him at center..I think we may have a new starter the rest of the year..
Yes indeed!! Big Man Chad Lindsey! RTR! I sure hope Ryan Kelly is gonna be OK, he's a Crimson Tide Warrior!
I was thinking the same thing. Says a lot about a kid to step up in a big game. Ole Miss was fairly stout up front, too. Actually, I saw no drop-off. I was glad to actually get a better look at Henry toward the end of the game, too. He is a work horse of a back...
Doesn't seem Kelly is done for the year or anything, but Lindsay should certainly get a look. The scoreboard didn't reflect how much more productive we were running in the second half. Some of it was Lindsay some was just execution by other guys, but the center is responsible for some of that too with proper assignment calls.
Deserving of a game ball, if you ask me. When he came in, not only was there no drop off on the line, but it looked to me like we may have worked better. Nothing against Kelly at all, just what I saw. I hope Kelly is ok.
Lindsey seems to have a better grasp on the line calls than Kelly, and that's meant as no disrespect towards Kelly, the offense just ran better with Chad as our center, I dunno if he was just making the right line calls, that Kelly wasn't or if the O-Line just rallied around Chad when he came in..And just played better football as a unit..Either way..I don't see how Lindsey isn't our new center from here on out..Even when Kelly comes back..
They say you don't lose you're job to injury, but if it opens up to a player performing better than the injured player it does. He looked great tonight.
It appeared Lindsey is more physical at the point of contact. I tell you this, not one time did he get pushed backwards. He either stood his ground or established a new offensive line. He looked good.
Lindsey did a great job all things considered.
But, there are two points. The offense was never really dynamic, there were a few big plays, but it's not like we saw a well oiled machine with either center. The other is that Ryan was the center for the game against A&M, and the offense didn't look too bad then. So, I'm happy with what we saw today from Lindsey, but I'll stop short of deciding which should be starting.

When Lindsay committed to us, I thought he was going to be a stud. His HS highlight footage looked as impressive as any lineman I've ever seen. I don't if he is one of those players that doesn't practice well, but he played lights out. His MO in HS was to block an opposing player to ground, and I saw him do that several times tonight. He played very physical like he did back in Texas.
