2 first time starters on the O line including a true freshman sounds like. Could be interesting. Thank heavens Pelini left so much quality depth in those upperclassmen linemen.

It's sticking in my head that Will Shields was the last OL to start a game as a true freshman. Am I right on that? Anyone?

I think the kid from Florida that subsequently transferred was. Think he was a legacy 4 star recruit.

He may have been a pretty decent linemen for us. Didn't he have an issue with Barney?

Moore started the opener as a frshman and I believe Javario Burkes started later in the year as a freshman.

Moore

yep. Pretty sure he started for a couple of years for USF or UCF?

Yes and the left early for the NFL, not sure he was even drafted.

Not sure he ended up there. Thought he said he was going there but ended up at USF chasing tail.

Yes that is right. Was playing for the Tampa Bay Storm, signed and later cut by the Bears in 2015. Wikipedia is a great thing.

For sure he played for the Gators. I remember because there was this funny play where Moore was run-blocking, lost his guy and started to block the next guy he ran into. Which ended up being one of his own teammates.

Does it count as a pancake when you take your own teammate down?
