Offense to Defense

[HoosierKnight2]

There was a time not too long ago, that we were forced to convert D linemen to O linemen.

With all these O linemen coming in, will we be converting O linemen to D linemen?

Nice development in recruiting.

Does it work better one way or the other?

Defense to offense is more common. It happens usually when the player is not explosive enough to play DL. When you have a guy who can contribute on the DL, it would take a major crisis to move him to OL.

Way more common.

We did move Brown, Rainey and Bordner the last few years from DL to OL but Rainey went back. I think all 3 of those guys were capable on both sides of the ball but were moved out of neccessity..

Harry Swayne was a great DT for RU who won a Super Bowl on the OL. Just a little trivia for the younger fans.
