It seems Caspers has identified himself as the weak link in the OL.  Austin was getting reps against ASU with the first unit at RG.  Don't remember how many plays, but he also didn't stay in the game either, which kind of suggests Bloomgren is throwing up his hands and saying "well, if this guy isn't getting it done, let's try another one."  The fact Austin is an "OR" at starting RG when the mantra has been "these guys need to come together as a unit," really bolsters the fact Caspers isn't getting his job dome well enough.

I haven't watched the games over again to study anything, but it's difficult for me to be that confident in Caspers when I paid close attention to him really struggling in the Spring Game.

Pretty amazing Shittu is on the depth chart this week.  Might have been a good idea to play Watkins, Callihan, or Hayes and not undo the Phillips redshirt against ASU if the Parry and Shittu injuries are minor in nature.  Can't believe Phillips was at times playing NT at a listed weight of 255.  His relative small girth compared to everyone else on the LOS was conspicuous, but he seems to have held his own, which I guess bodes well for his future when he adds more weight and strength.

According to the gostanford.com depth chart, Phillips is 225 pounds.  Surely that can't be true?!
