Cool video of some of the students at practice today. Nice catch of the punt, and I love the reaction of those on the team who were betting that he would catch it!

Paging @sackman

This looks a lot like student outreach. Good to see investments being made to create the next generation of Buff fans.
 
Not sure if this had been announced or not, but a big welcome to Coach Matt Bryson!

Personally, I like the idea of going with the most experienced vet next to the freshman Lynott in the opener.

Irwin-Kough-Kelley-Lynott-Callahan

Hopefully the Buffs take care of business and there are opportunities to work in Kronshage & Haigler for a good number of snaps at OT along with getting Huckins & Wiefels some run on the interior.

It's the safest play, imho. And I'd rather play it safe in the opener. Also, as a general rule of thumb, I think the nod goes to the vet in a year you're playing to win if the younger player hasn't won the job outright. That rule flips if it's a rebuilding year and you're working for the future. The future is now.

Doesn't Kronshage have more game experience at tackle than Callahan?

Yes. Callahan has 5 starts at OG for us last year (played in all 13 games). Kronshage had 6 starts at OT (played in 11/13 games).

On experience, though, Kronshage is a 4th year junior while Callahan is a 5th year senior who got an extra semester of practice as an early enrollee at Auburn.

Could probably go either way from an experience perspective.

Here's how I understand it:

Callahan is the biggest and most powerful if you want to be knocking guys off the ball.
Haigler is the most athletic but is the lightest while also a RS-Frosh. He's the long-term upside guy.
Kronshage is in between. Not as athletic as Haigler and not as strong as Callahan.

And I can certainly see Adams going with Kronshage instead of Callahan if he has a hair more confidence in him.
 
Kronshage played the whole CSU game last year at LT. So that wouldn't be a horrible option
 
I'm not worried. Would like it if one of the thre stepped up. I'm kind of pulling for Callahan if he is in fact the strongest. I do like the idea that they have at least three guys who can play the position.

I am a bit surprised that Weifles was unable to get in the two deep.

Wiefels is in the 2-deep. He'll be the primary backup at OG and C along with Huckins. I don't know which would go in 1st. I suspect Wiefels at OG and Huckins at C based on Adams saying that he had moved Wiefels to OG to give him a chance to compete for a starting job.
 
At any rate I am optimistic that this could be the most athletic o-line in almost a decade. Lots of talent. I just want the buffs to ram it down CSUs throat at will. If they can run the same play ten times in a row and make yards it will be a good omen.

We have experience, in a week we'll find out if it's translated into talent.
