I was really hoping that was a misprint when it read Ohio State. Personally, I would have preferred that he transfer to Ohio University, home of the Bobcats. Oh well, I wish him the best as he pursues his Masters degree in Columbus.
so, he's good enough to walk into the starting center job at OSU but he's not good enough to start anywhere on our line? I mean, it's not like he's transferring to bowling green and it's not like our o-line is what it was two years ago.
this is, to me, a strange and somewhat disconcerting situation.
I think he is good enough to at least be a 1st Team All Conference player in any conference at C or G. He was our best C last year and would have been the best C this year as well. It's just one of the many puzzling personnel decisions made lately.I do think it's a matter of him wanting to play the C position & becoming a starter..And with Kelly at Bama that's not going to happen..I wish he had stayed either as our backup C or win a G spot on the O-Line as a stater there..I think he is built to be a "Road Grader" at a G spot & would have the chance to be an All SEC or even an AA at a G spot..Others may disagree & that's cool..we all have our own opinions..
Unless there is something no one knows it appears to be a huge loss for us.so, he's good enough to walk into the starting center job at OSU but he's not good enough to start anywhere on our line?

I thought we were a much better O-line with Lindsay at center last season. Of course I thought we should have been making a few changes as the season went along but we kept playing the same guys no matter how they performed.so, he's good enough to walk into the starting center job at OSU but he's not good enough to start anywhere on our line?

Believe it or not, OSU believed it was such a big deal that they put the teaser at the top of the front page and had a 1/3 page story on page 3. They are really trying to make it look like they stole our All American player. Kind of funny.Is is possible that our coaches, including CNS, knew something we don't know?
I think so OR maybe CL decided he didn't fit at Bama or didn't want to play guard.
I've just got to believe there something here we don't know and there's more to it than CL being able to run block.
word is we simplified our offensive calls when Lindsay came in last season and that Kelly is much better at reading defensive alignments and making calls at the line, which is a vital component of being a good C.
especially with a QB who will be starting for the first time.
Was Chad not the starter at Center against Auburn?If that's the case our coaches needs to go back to that simplified offense..Cause our entire offense looked better when Chad came in to replace Kelly & every player just looked more relaxed & played more naturally when Chad came in and played..
