Speights looked good, kinda expect he will become our number 2 back over Scarlett considering Scarlett was very mediocre last year. Offensive line is and will continue be our Achilles heel this season. They got dominated by the DL and cannot convert in those 3rd and 1 situations. Anyone who follow Stanford fb would know we aren't able to consistently get those 1 yard in those situations, we will be losing a lot more games than we should. I am starting to think we should start at least one of our 5 star OTs or else this season at best will be just as good as our last season (honest opinion is we are still 1 year away from contending playoffs). Ryan Burns looked sharp just like last year spring game, its obvious he has talent but him holding the ball for too long and poor OL play last year really hindered his talent. From what the coaching staff said, seems like Keller Chryst is expected to start against Rice with Burns being the obvious back up. Another thing is we are wasting Irwin's potential by asking him to run a lot of go route, he doesn't have the speed nor size to excel in those situation. We need to put Irwin in those drag, slant, out route, post-corner-post route where he can use his phenomenal route running skill to get open. Use him like Julian Edelman please
