30 seemed very limited athletically to me also.#27 reminds me a little bit of #33 b.sanders.
27 played a lot faster than 30

Yep, in the early season, Bulaga had the whole thyroid concern in '09. Consequently, Reiff came in and started at LT for those early games. Once Bulaga returned, Reiff shifted over to OG and started the rest of the season. And as others stated, Reiff was a redshirt freshman.I think the last freshman to start a game at OT was Reiff at PSU in 2009. Now, Homer or some other poster with a better memory can tell us if he was a true FR or a RSFR.
Edit - bulaga was hurt if I recall
I am pretty sure he tried to play right tackle some as a true Frosh. I can't remember who we had atctackles if the top of my head, but they got hurt late in the season and they tried James out there. Didn't go to well, so they pushed Welsh out to tackle and put James at guard. I believe that ended up being the line for the bowl game then?"Started at OT" " OT = offensive tackle. I guess I didn't realize James played offensive tackle as a FR. I thought he played OG. There have been several that played OG as a true FR.
Taylor didn't play well last year. He seems to have regressed since his first couple years. I think we are going to miss Snyder more than I originally thought.Not really surprising with how well he played on Saturday when Gervase was benched. Would have been very disappointed if they moved him back to 2nd string after that performance. Taylor better watch his back as his play has been the biggest disappointment this season.
Due to injuries we DID end up seeing Daniels play a big hunk of a game at RT. For some reason, I'm wanting to think that it was the '15 Illinois game. It was a game where Ike went out due to injury.I am pretty sure he tried to play right tackle some as a true Frosh.

In '15, Taylor had a great leader and teammate in Lomax help direct him and help him prep. Lomax was an exceedingly bright and detail-oriented guy. The next year, that crutch was no longer there for him. This year, I think the jury is still out. Like many have said, he needs to still play fast ... but he needs to wrap-up when he tackles guys. We're still seeing too many missed tackles.Taylor didn't play well last year. He seems to have regressed since his first couple years.

Thanks for the correction. I've fixed the error subsequently.In 05? I didn't realize Taylor has been around that long...
Am I missing something? I see Colten listed.
Anyone think by the end of the year it may be Miles Taylor that is sitting. Maybe Gervase is being groomed to take over at SS
