Figure out of the offensive line

Even though the offensive line was named to the Midseason Honor Roll for the Joe Moore Award, the group hasn't met expectations.

Part of the problem has been figuring out the five best players. Some of the holdovers that weren't regular starters such as Giovanni El-Hadl, Andrew Gentry and Greg Crippen. All three of those guys were former four-star recruits and had multiple seasons to develop They are all upperclasmen.

Crippen has played at center at times and started the last game. Jeffrey Persi also started the last game at left tackle with Myles Hinton out. He held up well and when Hinton comes back, Persi should get a chance at right tackle for Evan Link.

The run blocking has been good. The pass blocking hasn't and at some point, a change needs to be made and the bye week feels like an ideal time.
