behind stanford's offensive line?

Andrew is used to a sub-par OL. Of course, Stanford's may be even worse than the Colt's OL, relatively speaking.

Was just thinking about the sub-par 49er OL. Bill Walsh, fresh from coaching Stanford first time around drafted five OLs in the first four rounds (Harris Barton, Bubba Paris, Bruce Collie, Guy McIntyre and Steve Wallace), got lucky in the 11th round with Jesse Sapolu, and had two starters, one a 4x All Pro or Pro Bowler (Randy Cross) and another who started 138 games (John Ayers). They were at least part of the reason that Montana and Young are Hall of Famers. After Barton in 1987, they didn't draft an OL in the first three rounds until Jeremy Newberry from Cal at center in 1998, then five more years until Kwame Harris/Stanford in the first round in 2003.
