Mine - as usual.

I just have a question for those who are MUCH more knowledgeable (which includes most of the membership here): Crosby was rated as one of the top OT's in the country (top 5 for sure) last season. He and Cameron Hunt were our only returning starters on the OL and they worked together to give us a strong right side. Zac Morgan was a two year starter at Dayton and made all-conference at Left Tackle.

With those pieces already sort of in place, why did the coaches move Crosby to LT (breaking up that powerful combo with Hunt) and insert Morgan on the right side (opposite where he'd been so successful before)? Wouldn't it have been more reasonable to keep that strong combo together, put Morgan in at LT and then only have to deal with a relative unknown quantity at LG (since everyone already pretty much knew Hanson was going to be the starter at C)?

Thanks for taking it easy on me guys; and, if that's not possible, thanks for at least helping me learn more than I did before (not setting the bar very high, I know).
