    I've heard good things about Brostek after his RS year as well.

    After Atoe (non Top 5 draft pick) and Tanigawa (post 2 ACL tears) manned it in 2014, Brostek could be an upgrade at RG in 2015.

    Sounds like RS-Frosh Matt James may start next to him at RT (an inch taller and probably longer arms than Shelton).

    This brings up a couple thoughts
    1) It speaks to this staff's ability to identify talent. Matt James was a 250 lb O lineman from Idaho who eventually picked up a few Pac-12 offers but Petersen was one of the first to offer. Also putting 30+ pounds on him over the off-season speaks to their ability to get guys in playing shape quickly.
    2) It will be interesting to see what happens with McGary. He is currently a backup to a guy (James) who is in the same class as him. On the left side, Adams and Burleson will probably battle out for the starting position after Eldrenkamp is gone

    Eldrenkamp will move to guard in 16' and mcgary and trey Adams will man the tackle position. James as well. Get the best 5 out there. We are loaded with young tackles. Shelton may move to guard if no young guards step up

    That's a black guy named Scottie, and Crichton is Polynesian.

    I think Brostek could have a breakout season. I'm worried about LT though. Hatchie was actually good last year (HM All-Pac12). I think LT could be a big problem this year.

    The run game is going to be at 60% of the offense ... if you figure that half of the remaining passes can and will be tied to play action/quick passes, that will make things a lot easier on the LT. I do agree with you though that I'd definitely recommend running some kind of sets where you have either a TE lined up with the LT to protect him a bit or at least have some kind of H-Back in place to chip before heading out.

    I completely agree on pumping the brakes. Whoever starts at QB will likely be one of the worst QB's in the conference. I will still doog over Browning because he's much more exciting than the alternatives.

    Thanks for pointing that out so I didn't have to @RoadDawg55. UCLA is the Black Guy Scott of the CFB world.
