O-line looks promising
Here is Tom Keegan's short preview of the '09 O-Line. (sweet rhyme there.)
I like this part the most: "This much is certain: The five best offensive linemen will start, not the five linemen with the most potential. "Potential gets me fired,"KU offensive line coach John Reagan said when discussing the prospects for the line as the spring season got under way. "It’s nice when you have guys competing for jobs. Not competing by default, competing because they’ve got the ability to compete. It generally does make you better."
I suspect the biggest difference between the football team now, and where it was four years ago, is depth rather than the quality of the top eight or ten players.

The offensive line...
and the depth we’re developing at the position is turning into one of the major bright spots in the program. I’m very excited to see how this comes together. Not expecting the world this year but keep in mind that no matter what happens we should be looking at the entire starting o-line returning in 2010 when we have to break in a new QB.
I think my feeling after spring ball goes something like this…Hawk, Sal Capra, Hatch, Williams, Spikes
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
If these guys come together, what's the ceiling?
35 points a game? Even more? Texas and OU might have the talent on defense to contain us, but I don’t really see anybody else that can.

I think to some extent...
we’ve got to be understanding of the fact that no matter how good that group looks on paper or from a potential standpoint, they are still very young. I think over time there is huge upside and they could gel this year even. At the same time though, I’m expecting us to rely somewhat on our skilled positions making plays while this group goes through the bumps and bruises of gaining the experience necessary to play as a cohesive division 1 football offensive line.
All that said…35 points a game is very possible should the offensive group stay healthy
