My impression was that Oser was in the competition for the #2 center, along with Kevin Rheiner and perhaps some others who are not coming to mind right now. Rheiner actually has an extra year of experience in the offensive system, so if my memory is correct about him being an option, I'm not as concerned as I might be. But it sure is nice to have dept at the OL, isn't it?

I agree that Reihner most likely had the inside track as back-up center even before Oser was hurt.

With Oser and Austin hurt, several players not returning for a fifth year (Fleming, Bonnell, Underwood, McFadden), and the freshmen not on campus yet, we actually don't have much depth on the OL this spring. Right now we don't have enough healthy OL players for a full two-deep. Reinforcements are coming in the fall but at the moment, it's pretty thin.
