A look at the OLine for Week 2

Calloway is back from suspension which is huge! That makes both Tackles are back from last year. Julian Vandervelde is cleared to play. It sounds highly unlikely he will start or play a lot. So we are looking at the following OLine on Saturday:

LT Bulaga
LG Gettis
C Eubanks
RG Richardson
RT Calloway

I am thinking Gettis gets the nod over Doering this week. Doering was a top OL coming out of HS in 2005 class. Iowa fans have had big hopes for him but he has been hampered by injuries every year. Coach has stated he has been impressed with Doering in spring and summer but he looked awful at times at RG. It could change in practice this week but this is how I see it.

Then when Julian is ready to go in to play, this is where the Oline gets to be stout!!!!

LT Bulaga
LG Vandervelde
C Eubanks
RG Richardson
RT Calloway

Barring injury, I expect this to be the starting lineup for some time. Some don't like Eubanks at center but I thought he did an alright job. They just need more practice and game time together to work out the kinks that caused a couple sacks last Saturday.
