Offensive Line

Some updates available about the OL after practice today here:

I added the bold highlight below.

Newcomer Arlington Hambright, a grad transfer from Oklahoma State, lined up at left tackle on Thursday, a position he has played throughout his college career. That put sophomore William Sherman, who started nine games last year at left tackle, on the right side. The rest of the first group included Tim Lynott and Kary Kutsch at the guard spots and Colby Pursell at center.

It is a rotation that no doubt could change, said O-line coach Chris Kapilovic. The Buffs actually spent most of last spring with Lynott at center while Pursell played guard early in the session before being sidelined by an injury. But Kapilovic wants to establish an early baseline before he experiments with some different rotations.

"We'll get started and then hope that after the first big scrimmage or so we start rotating some guys," Kapilovic said. "Maybe we have three tackles that look really good, so maybe you can slide one of those tackles to guard because he'd help you more. What's important is that there's some guys right now that have to play two positions to give us a chance." …

Looks like Sherman at RT here, Pursell at center, and Lynott at RG.

Big Jim told me Sherman was playing LT. The website said so

If Sherman has RT on lock down and Fillip can hold down the fort at LT let him roll there.

If Kap has different long term plans then work towards those.

Sure. You only downgrade 2 OL positions as a reaction to an injured starter if your other option would be to create a liability at a position. Often that is the case, no matter what level of football we're talking about.

it is great to see the buffs finally operating with a real OL coach...since grimes and bedell departed...the combo of weak OL coaches and piss poor S and C guidance under forman set the buffs OL back 5 years. OL should be top notch in 2 years..

The offensive linemen have been the unsung heroes of the team so far. Montez may have gotten sacked three times yesterday but most of those were his own fault and his reluctance to step up into the pocket they've made for him.

Regardless, I think line play has been pretty good.

Agreed. They still have a ways to go to gel, though. Numerous errors in assignment still happening. Never expected them to click on cylinders this early. May take half the season.

Pursell really raised his game from week 1 to week 2. This OL is really coming together. They eventually wore out a good Nub front 7. Almost certainly top 50% of front 7s they’ll face on this year’s schedule.

Yup, Pursell was dominant late. Kutsch struggled early, then figured it out as time went on. No surprise Hambright was the guy who played the best though. What a pickup.
 
Totally agree on the sacks in the 1st half, it seemed like he had decent time, but had happy feet and caused the sack himself.

Pleasantly surprised with how the o-line has played through 2 games.
