core counts dave experience four good guys high john junior last leadership left level line offensive plays starters tackle third together veteran year
It's always good to have the core of your offensive line returning. Experience counts at that position. We have four starters back and some other guys who have played.

This will be their third year together as starters, which is very important.

Bruce did a nice job of executing the offense and we had other players make players for us. We just have to keep it going.
chance develop good guy offense patience process required staff teach three
We've done this three other times before, actually. Remember, we had to teach Tavares Bolden a whole new offense in 2001. Our staff is experienced at it. We know it's a process you have to go through. Patience is required of us to give a guy a chance to develop and become a good quarterback.

chance dream good level starter
I have to be honest. I thought he'd have a chance to be a good player. But never did I dream he could be a three-year starter and play at the level he has.
best clint early good grasp guy obviously offense run
Clint Cochran is the guy with the best grasp of the offense right now. He has a good arm, he can run the offense and he has the most experience. So obviously he will have the early advantage.
