I find it difficult to figure this team out not really knowing how well the offensive line is going to jell. Assuming that Archuleta starts at right tackle and Sam Evans at right guard, we could be starting three red-shirt freshmen in the other three spots or at least guys that don't have starting experience. That being said, as good as Darrius Victor, Colby Grant and Dontae Ayres are, the holes may not be as open as they were in years past.

So quarterback might have to be more than just a game manager. Do you go with Connor Frazier, who has the most experience? Joe Brennan with the best size and arm? What about a true freshman like Ellis Knudson (6-2, 240)? Or will RA bring in a late transfer like Grant Enders was from juco or FBS?

Connor is a dual threat, I would expect him to start unless Rob has a wildcard coming in before the season. I would expect a few transfers over the summer and QB would be area that would fit.

i kinda always figured brennan was going to be the guy, he did transfer down after all. has he just not progressed or fallen out of love with RA?

On an unrelated note, I noticed Gavin Cass was listed on the '14 Roster. If this is true then good for him, just getting back to some normalcy had to be a challenge. Great news if this is the case.

Brennan is just too inconsistent. He's been in the program for over 2 years now and hasn't earned the job just because he transferred down from Wisconsin. One thing I do like is our receiving corps but with the questions about the O-line, I think we'll need a more mobile qb.

If Conner shows some improve, he's our guy. You are supposed to improve year by year and if he has we can go places.

Frazier is going to take all of the snaps unless he gets hurt. Brennan should never see the field as he is not mobile and you need to be mobile behind a young line.

Frazier is the man until he loses it. He played well at EWU, in terrible conditions.

Seems like Frazier's job to lose.
