Hey CT.
No injuries that we know of, but there might be undisclosed injuries.
The participation report is correct; Little became the first true freshman since Kirk Chambers to start at LT. Bright was moved to LG, and Hebrig moved to RG. As you noted, there was a lot of shuffling in and out.
Shaw in his press conference said that he is not planning to change the line any further... for whatever it is worth.
As I pointed out elsewhere, the line didn't look any more effective than the line was last week against USC. Taking into account the strengths of the respective opponents, the line seemed less effective as a unit, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to figure out if that was relevant to particular positions or not. I'm hoping there is a master plan behind all this and it is not a sign, as WIM posited, of desperation. To be honest, I was very surprised. I thought we might introduce Little as the RT, where had been playing before, in place of Hamilton/Hall, given that neither distinguished themselves. Three line changes, including moving two starters around seems like a recipe for confusion.
