I thought it also helped that Boren was great at reading defenses, which is a major intangible. But Elflein was still a very good lineman, and we know the motto of Urban is that the best will play

While Urban Meyer and others have already said that Isaiah Prince and Jamarco Jones are expected to be the tackles, we haven't necessarily been told who will be lining up on which side. On Wednesday, however, J.T. Barrett referred to Prince as "our left tackle". Even though he hasn't played much, I expected Prince to get the first crack at left tackle due to his height. Obviously, however, things are still very, very early.
Right now, that would put Jones at right tackle, with Pat Elflein at center. Billy Price is at one of the guard spots and Demetrius Knox, Evan Lisle and Matt Burrell are all competing for the other guard spot. When junior college transfer Malcolm Pridgeon gets to campus this summer, we will see what he can do, but I think it's a bit much to expect him to come in and take somebody's job in just four weeks of fall camp.
You've got to be kidding! The play calling scapegaot BS has to stop! Watch the damn game, and then watch the one against Wisky, its obvious that JT has little time to throw and the WRs aren't getting open outside of Brown and Samuel! The play calling was fine, the play calling didn't get Barrett sacked to end the game, the playcalling didn't cause numerous holding calls, playcallinf didn't cause bonehead drops by WRs. Jesus Christ, the play calling was very good tonight, execution by the O line and WRs was not! Very young OL in a 2nd consecutive hostile environment
Well that and they're young as all hell. Remember, this is probably the youngest o-line we've had since Urban has been here. Agreed that the play calling was mostly dog shit.
