I expected Weatherspoon and Washington to be the starters at OT.  They are IMHO just too big and athletic to keep on the bench.  But we should not jump to conclusions based on a reporter watching a few minutes of drills.  This doesn't mean much right now.  Would not be surprised to see E Cruz play some with the first team and probably some others as well (mostly Petry and Miller) as preseason camp continues.  And Wohlabaugh was good enough to start at Kentucky as a frosh.  If he is 100%, he will surely get a long hard look as well.

So while OT is going to be an interesting competition with a bunch of players who look ready to play, I think OG is where the[B] really[/B] interesting competition for starting positions is going to be.  Bradford and Petry have the experience edge and are slotted in as starters for today.  It appears.

This said, I am confident Miller is going to be a factor here.  E Cruz worked here last spring and might crack into the starting lineup at OG.  Hornsby might be the most talented OG in the group (but is new to the system and stepping up a level) and I am also a big fan of Moeolo, who didn't play at all last year but is an athletic and mammoth human being.

I wouldn't be shocked if any of these guys end up starting.

My prediction is that the competition at OT and OG will not be settled by the end of the preseason and will spill into the regular season.  We might not have a set group of starters for 3 or 4 games.  Would not be surprised if a couple players end up splitting time at a position for part or all of the season.
